St. Aloysius College About

St. Aloysius College, Edathua is a first grade college which has completed five decades of glorious service to the cause of higher education. Now, it is a well-established NAAC re-accredited (3 third phase) – A Grade centre of learning offering a variety of UG, PG and Ph. D Programmes. The college is situated in the Edathua Panchayat of the Kuttanad Taluk in the lake district of Alappuzha. It is the only temple of higher learning of the kind in the entire region of the one-time granary of Kerala, Kuttanad. Standing atop the main building of the college, there is a panoramic view of the paddy fields, clothed in the richest green. The luxuriant greenery, meandering rivulets and the placid tranquillity altogether provide a congenial atmosphere for learning and development. St. Aloysius College was founded in 1965 by St. George’s Forane Church, Edathua. It was the realization of the vision and far sightedness of late Very. Rev. Fr. Zacharias Punnappadom (the first Manager) and Dr. P.T. Joseph (the first Principal) under the patronage of Servant of God Mar Mathew Kavukattu. The great visionaries had in their mind the noble task of imparting quality higher education in the backward agrarian region of Kuttanad which lacked any facility for higher education. The college, though run by the catholic minority community, admits students of all castes and creeds with due respect to different faiths and religious denominations.
