Sree Narayana College, Kollam, is one of the pioneering centre of higher education in the state of Kerala, India. Affiliated to the University of Kerala, the college is managed by the corporate management of Sree Narayana Trusts, Kollam. The college was initiated in 1948, an year after the historic Indian independence.

At a time when the luminary vision offered by education was considered expensive and unattainable, the founder of the college, Sri. R Sankar (1909- 1972), the former Chief Minister of Kerala, embarked on a visionary mission of the establishment of a higher educational institution of national repute, especially catering to the educational requirements of the poor and the downtrodden. The college is named after the internationally renowned philosopher, social reformer and mystic poet, Sree Narayana Guru (1856 – 1928), whose preaching on social equality, societal reformation and education brought out a tremendous impact upon the Kerala society, which might have otherwise been doomed with restrictions imposed by the miserable caste system or Chaturvarnya.
