About SN College

Sree Narayana College, Sivagiri, Varkala was established and stands for the realization of its Vision “Liberation through Education” as envisaged by Sree Narayana Guru, the guiding light of our college. The Kerala society has evolved through several social transformations. The teachings of Sree Narayana Guru had a major role in this social transformation of the Kerala society towards modernization. Considerable emphasis has been given to education, which is a means of social liberation. The society is still in the bondage of ignorance and slow pace of modernization. Our College is located in a socially and economically backward area. Our College plays a leading role for the liberation and emancipation of the young generation.

Subsequently B.Com, B.Sc Geology and B.A.History were started in 1980, 1981 and 1998, respectively. In 1981 the College was elevated to the status of a first-grade College with the opening of a Post-Graduate programme in Economics. Later M.Sc in Physics was started in 1995 and M.Sc in Analytical Chemistry in 2001. The restructured course B.Com with Hotel Management and Catering was started in 1999. Now the Institution has eleven Under-Graduate courses, four Post-Graduate courses and the research programme in Economics.
