Tucked away from the madding crowd, by the banks of River Meenachil lies Alphonsa College, Pala, one of the premier institutions for higher education of women in the state of Kerala. It perpetuates the sacred memory of Blessed Alphonsa, the contemplative mystic who was beatified and raised to the altar by His Holiness John Paul II on his visit to India in 1986. The life of Blessed Alphonsa, radiating the fragrance of love, service and sacrifice has always been a perennial source of inspiration and strength for the people around Pala.The college owes its genesis to the vibrant vision, wisdom, benefaction and magnificent philanthropy of Mar Sebastian Vayalil, the first Bishop of Pala. Established in 1964 as a Junior College with 400 students and 13 teachers, the college has now attained the status of a First Grade Women’s College. It is a standing monument of the far-sightedness and pioneering leadership of the trailblazer late Mar Sebastian Vayalil, Founder-Patron of the College. Though advanced in several respects, this area lacked in facilities for women’s education. Fully convinced of the fact that total development and progress of a society is possible only through the education of women, His Excellency took a bold step and started a Women’s College in Pala with the support of several eminent leaders of the locality. The saga that began forty years back scaled the heights of excellence and became one of the most prestigious institutions in the educational scenario, leaving a trail of glory behind.
