Sree Sankara College was founded in the year 1954 by Swami Agamananda, an educationist and foresighted scholar of Sri Ramakrishna Advaita Ashram. The institution has established a niche of its own in the generation and dissemination of knowledge, imparting multiple skill development, and above all, serving the community in and around Kalady, the birth place of Adi Sankara, which stretches to an area of 9 Grama Panchayaths. Though the annual income of the parents of more than 70 per cent of the students ( Socially and Economically Backward Classes – SEBC) is still below Rs.25,000/-, every year the college produces 4-6 University Ranks at the UG level and 6-8 Ranks in the PG programmes.
The institution became a First Grade college in 1956, and was affiliated to the then Travancore University. Later it became a part of Kerala University. It got UGC recognition in 1957 under 2 ( f ), 12 ( B ). The Sringeri Mutt took over the administration of the college in 1960. At present the college is affiliated to Mahatma Gandhi University. The college volunteered to be assessed and accredited by NAAC in 1999. The Peer Team visited the campus for validation of the Self-Study Report on 31st July, 1st and 2nd August 2000 and accredited the college with a Four Star Status.
