The long-cherished dream of the local people to have a centre of higher education in Guruvayur got realised on 18th July 1964 with the formal inauguration of Sree Krishna College. The inaugural course on offer was Pre-Degree Course affiliated to the Kerala University. 1964 also witnessed the foundation stone of the permanent building being laid at Ariyannur. In 1967, the College was shifted to the well accomplished building at Ariyannur that could cater to the needs of a first grade College, which offered degree courses in Arts & Science. By 1976, when the management of the college was restructured with the dissolution of Sree Krishna Educational Society (formed in 1965 to manage the College) and with the formal registration of Guruvayur Devaswom Educational Society, the College had a number of degree courses and better infrastructure facilities. New degree courses kept on being added in 1984, the college had its first P.G. Course. 1988 was a momentous year with the Silver Jubilee Celebrations being inaugurated by Sri. E.K. Nayanar, the then honourable Chief Minister of Kerala. Infrastructure advancements did not slacken and the present Silver Jubilee auditorium for which the foundation stone was laid by the Hon. Prime Minister Sri Rajeev Gandhi, was inaugurated by the Central Minister for Surface Transport Sri. K.P. Unnikrishnan. The College has had more P.G. Courses and has kept pace with the times with its endeavour to include job-oriented courses like "Functional English (U.G.), Biochemistry (U.G.), M.Com (Foriegn Trade Management) and M.A. (Malayalam with Journalism).Today the College has, in addition to the strides made in the academic field, an enviable track record of glittering extension activities that have proved to be of immense value to the community around. On February 28th, 2005 the college was nationally accredited for a period of 5 years at B++ Level by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), an autonomous institution of university grants commission.MISSIONTO EMPOWER OUR STUDENTS TO SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITIES OF TOMORROW AND TO GROOM THEM INTO RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS OF INDIA.
