About Shree Vidyadhiraja College of Arts and Science
Shree Vidyadhiraja College of Arts and Science (SVRC), Karunagappally, established in 1995, is a distinguished self-financing institution dedicated to high-quality higher education. Managed by the Shree Vidyadhiraja Vidya Samajam, a charitable society founded in 1975, the college is named after the legendary social reformer Sree Vidyadhiraja Chattampi Swamikal. Affiliated with the University of Kerala, the institution was envisioned by Sri. R. Ramachandran Nair (former Chief Secretary to the Government of Kerala) to provide a platform where modern academic knowledge meets traditional spiritual and ethical values. The campus is located in Thevarkavu, Karunagappally, offering a serene environment that is yet highly accessible to students across the Kollam district.

The infrastructure includes ICT-enabled smart classrooms, well-equipped laboratories, and a digitized library that serves as a hub for academic research.
