MAHATMA GANDHI COLLEGE
Mahatma Gandhi College is located in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. It was founded by Mannathu Padmanabhan, founder of the Nair Service Society, and is affiliated to the University of Kerala while being managed by the Nair Service Society. The college began functioning at Vadassery Amma Veedu at Perunthanni in 1948 before relocating to its present site at Kattachakkonam, now Kesavadasapuram. C. Rajagopalachari laid the foundation stone for the new building in 1948, with the Arts section shifting there in 1949 and the Science section in 1950. The main building was completed in 1958 and inaugurated by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. The college celebrated its Silver Jubilee in 1974–75, and the Mannam Memorial Block was inaugurated in 1990 by Governor Swaroop Singh. It has about 2,000 students, offering 13 degree and 10 postgraduate courses, along with research facilities and an Instrumentation course under the Department of Physics. NAAC awarded it a 'College with potential for excellence' certificate, and it ranked 68th in India in the 2019 NIRF rankings. Notable alumni include Mohanlal, Madhu, and Priyadarshan. The college has faced political controversies involving student groups.
