Rama Varma XV, Maharaja
of erstwhile Kingdom of Kochi
The founder of the college
The idea of starting a new college at Thrissur originated from a committee of prominent citizens of Thrissur, in response to strong public demand. The members of the committee armed with the moral support of the public besides a few promises of financial backing approached "His Highness" the then Maharajah of Cochin to enlist "His Highness" sympathy and blessing for the venture. "His Highness" in his turn was gracious enough to allow free use of the Merry Lodge Palace and the naming of the college as after "His Highness", "Sree Kerala Varma College". A free grant of one lakh rupees from the Devaswom funds together with a loan of four lakhs towards capital expenditure and a free grant of two hundred and fifty candies of timber were sanctioned by "His Highness". Greatly inspired and heartened by this magnificent gesture of "His Highness" the committee began to collect funds and completed all arrangements for opening the college on August 11, 1947. As years rolled by, the college has grown and expanded considerably on a secure basis as a full fledged first grade instituition providing instructions in almost all the courses of study and occupying the pride of place as the biggest College under the Calicut University
