Devaswom Board Pampa College was established in the year 1968.
It is situated on the banks of the holy river Pampa at Parumala. It
was the fulfilment of the long cherished dream of the natives of
Parumala, Kadapra and Mannar to provide facilities for higher
education to the younger generation. The Travancore Devaswom
Board, dedicated for the cause of education, took up the initiative to
start this temple of Learning, graced by the proximity to the famous
parumala Church, Thrikkuratty Temple and the Mohiyuddin
Mosque.
The College started functioning as a junior college affiliated to
University of Kerala. The College was upgraded in 1978-79 by
starting B.A. (Economics) and B.Sc.(Mathematics). More degree
courses were started one by one as B.Sc. Physics in 1979, B.Sc.
Zoology in 1980, B.Sc. Chemistry and B.Com in 1982. The College
became a Centre of post graduate studies with the starting of M.Sc.
Mathematics in 1984, M.Sc. Physics in 1995 and M.Sc. Chemistry
in 2001. Since October 2 nd 1983 the college has been affiliated to
Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam.
Realising the demand for job oriented courses Mahatma Gandhi
University accorded sanction to start two vocational courses in the
college – B.Sc. Botany (Environmental Science) in 1998 and B.A.
Englis (Teaching of English) in 1999. The fourth P.G. Programme

Our Motto
‘Amrutham Tu Vidya’
It means that ‘Knowledge is eternal’. (Kadha Upanishad 2:3:17).
Shvetashvatara Upanishad (5:1) says ‘ksharamtuavidya hi
amritamtuvidya’ (Ignorance leads to decay and knowledge to
immortality).
Our Vision
Vision of our college is to disseminate the fruits of knowledge and to
enlighten the human mind, globally. In order to attain the final goal
of life (Moksha), one should follow a path as shown by our ancestors
as Dharma, Artha and Kama.
Moksha is attaining the final goal of
becoming one with the infinite soul. To achieve and attain the aims
of life one has to live one’s life, by all means facing the realities and
situations in the real life. Education is the essential factor which
makes man a ‘Man’. He/she should attain the capacity of community
life and may also find proper means of livelihood through education.
Therefore, cultural and spiritual development of human beings is
also necessary.
Our Mission

transformative educational experience that will prepare them for
success in their chosen fields and in life. We believe that education is
the key to a better future, and we are committed to providing our
students with the tools they need to succeed.
