About Govt Polytechnic College Kottayam

Govt Polytechnic College Kottayam is a government college in Kottayam, Kerala. Campusbells lists it under Engineering.

Kottayam was ruled by the Rajas of the independent little kingdom of Thekkumkoor ruled from Thazhathangady till the mid-18th century. At that time, Marthanda Varma,the king of Travancore annexed Thekkumcore and surrounding areas of Kottayam to the Kingdom of Travancore. During the British rule of India, Kottayam continued to be ruled under the Princely State of Travancore.

The present district of Kottayam was part of erstwhile princely state of Travancore. The Travancore state consisted of two revenue divisions viz., the South and the North, under the administrative control of a Divan Peshkar for each. Later, in 1868, two more divisions, Quilon and Kottayam, were constituted. The fifth division - Devikulam, came next but for a short period, which in course of time was made part of Kottayam.

At the time of integration of the State of Travancore and Cochin in 1984, these revenue divisions were renamed as districts and the Divan Peshkars gave way to District Collectors, giving birth to Kottayam District.
