Pazhassi Raja College

Pazhassi Raja College, Pulpally, was started in the year 1982 to cater to the higher education needs of the community in this locality and the surrounding places in Wayanad district. Wayanad is a remotely situated tribal district in Kerala. The population includes mainly the settlers who migrated from the lowlands of Kerala and the native tribal people. Their main source of revenue is from agriculture produce such as pepper, coffee, paddy etc. and the children of this highland did not have higher education facilities in the district until the first College was started here in 1964. The College had a humble beginning on 20th October 1982 with two Pre-degree batches. The early times of the college were miserable.
