About Gurudev Arts and Science College (GASC)

Gurudev Arts and Science College (GASC), located in the serene hilltop of Mathil near Payyannur, is a distinguished self-financing institution under the Catholic Diocese of Sulthan Bathery. Established in 2002 and named after the legendary Rabindranath Tagore, the college was founded by the Gurudev Educational and Charitable Trust to provide quality higher education to the rural and underprivileged sections of Kannur and Kasaragod districts. Affiliated with Kannur University, GASC has grown from a modest beginning with two undergraduate courses to a comprehensive 'First Grade' college offering 14 UG and 5 PG programs across Science, Humanities, Commerce, and Management. The 24-acre campus is designed to be a 'GURUKULA' of modern times, blending spiritual values with scientific inquiry. The college is particularly renowned for its strong Science departments, boasting advanced laboratories for Microbiology and Biochemistry. The infrastructure includes 'Gitanjali', a state-of-the-art seminar hall, and 'Snehalaya', a modern residential facility for female students. The college management was transferred to the Malankara Catholic Diocese of Bathery in 2012, which brought a renewed focus on academic excellence and social commitment, culminating in a NAAC B++ accreditation in 2022. Academic life at Gurudev is characterized by rigor and individual attention. The college follows the motto 'Lighted to Lighten,' emphasizing that knowledge should lead to the service of others. Programs like BBA in Travel and Tourism Management (TTM) and Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) are highly popular, reflecting the institution's response to modern career trends. Beyond the classroom, students are encouraged to participate in NSS, sports, and cultural associations, ensuring a well-rounded personality. With its high-speed IT infrastructure and dedicated faculty, Gurudev Arts and Science College continues to be a beacon of hope and a hub for intellectual empowerment in the North Malabar region.
