Sri .C.Achuthamenon Government College Thrissur

About Us

Thrissur Government College was established in response to persuasive demands from various sections of the society to have a Government College in Thrissur, the cultural capital of the State of Kerala. The goals were to promote excellence in the sphere of higher education and cater to the academic aspirations of all, especially to the underprivileged sections of the society. The college was formally inaugurated by the then Chief Minister of Kerala, Sri C. Achutha Menon, on 28 October 1972. Prof. Subbayyan T R was the first Principal of the college and classes were begun on 14 August 1972 with 200 students and 9 teachers. At the time of its inception the college had offered one Pre-degree batch each for the III and IV Groups and two Degree courses,namely BA History and BA Economics.BA English and B. Com were started in 1976 and 1978 respectively. In the year 1984 M. Com was started, elevating the institution to a Post-graduate college. In recognition to the good performance of the college and its potential for development, it was resolved to shift the college to a 25-acre campus of its own at Kuttanellur, 6 KM east of Thrissur town, close to the Mannuthy bypass road of NH 47. Situated amidst sylvan surroundings, the site was an ideal spot for academic pursuit and research activities. The foundation stone for the new building of the college was laid by Sri. K. Karunakaran, the then Chief Minister of Kerala, on 20 April 1985. The shifting of the college to the new campus on 1 April 1991 marked a new phase in the history of the college. Three post-graduate Programmes were started in quick succession: M.A. History (1993), M.A. Economics (1996) and M.A. English (1998).
