St Dominic’s College was started in 1965 under the catholic management of St Dominic’s Forane Church, Kanjirapally, to cater to the higher educational needs of the parish, in particular, and of the eastern parts of the Archdiocese of Changanacherry, in general. This was the fulfilment of a long-felt need of this region which was one of the educationally backward areas in Kerala. When the new Diocese of Kanjirapally was formed in 1977, St Dominic’s College assumed the unique distinction of being the only institution offering higher education in the whole diocese.The college also includes in its purview the academic aspirations of the non-Catholic communities of the area and is committed to imparting education to all who seek higher learning at these doors, irrespective of caste , community and creed.In fact, this center of learning keeps in its interests ,the intellectual ,cultural and moral advancement of the whole area.
