History

Pazhassi Raja College, Pulpally, was started in the year 1982 to cater to the higher education needs of the community in this locality and the surrounding places in Wayanad district. Wayanad is a remotely situated tribal district in Kerala. The College had a humble beginning on 20 October 1982 with two pre-degree batches of students. It was incorporated in 1983. The early times of the college were miserable. Fighting against all the odds, the college started with only 127 students, seven teachers, and eight office staff, and the first Principal, Dr. O. Sooryanaryanan, who came from Government Brennen College, Thalassery. The Society struggled to get a suitable land for this College, and finally they succeeded in buying a piece of land of about fifteen acres, just 1.5 kilometers away from the zero points of Pulpally. The first Management of the College handed over the ownership of the college to the Bathery Diocese of the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church, and the latter took over the college in July 1992. The first patron of the college was Bishop Dr. Cyril Baselios, the first Bishop of the Bathery Diocese. The present manager and patron of the college is Bishop Dr. Joseph Mar Thomas, who retired as Principal from the Mar Theophilos Training College, Trivandrum, and a renowned Economist and Educationist.
