College Tirur 7 PREFACE Thunchan Memorial Govt. College, Tirur, affiliated to University of Calicut crowns the educational scenario of the western coast of Malappuram District, Kerala state with its outstanding contributions in the field. The college initiated in the name of the legend Thunchath Ezhuthachan, the father of Malayalam language soon became the beacon by spreading the power of knowledge through education. The visionaries who had envisaged this institute and made it a reality had dreamt of the educational and cultural advancement of the society. True to their belief and aspiration, our institute developed in leaps and bounds moulding the younger generations into responsible citizens of our mother land. With the passage of time, our college metamorphasised into an institution rendering value based education through conducive environment resulting in the overall development of the students. It also aims to inculcate the ideals of secularism, unity in diversity, national integrity and solidarity in the young minds. I applaud the pivotal and decisive role played by faculty and staff of this college without which this would have not been possible. The college was accredited by NAAC with B+ grade on 10.02.2007. The process of re-accreditation was held in abeyance as several of our projects pertaining to ladies hostel, PG courses and other development activities were in the pipeline. We are really glad to have realized all the suggestions made by the peer team in their review other than the boy’s hostel, even the attempts to fulfill the same are duly on. The institution is on the way into its re-accreditation by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). The re-accreditation process is eagerly awaited by the stakeholders and will be a festive occasion for the people of Tirur. The NAAC exercise shall address the aspirations, needs, hopes and dreams of the people of Tirur, in particular, as we look forward for the external evaluation of Thunchan Memorial Government College. Tirur Dr. V. SASIKALA 03.02.2016 (Principal) Self Study Report T.M.Govt. College Tirur 8 ABOUT OUR INSTITUTION Thunchan Memorial Govt. College was started in the year 1980. The decision to start a government college was the long cherished dream of a group of socially committed visionaries of this area. It materialized as the result of the fusion of their enthusiasm, hard work, diligence and zeal. Apart from the primary aim of imparting knowledge, this institution has been visualized to play a more significant role, namely the improvement of the otherwise educationally backward Malappuram district and the coastal belt of Tirur taluk in particular. For the present generation, it might be a surprise to learn that this prestigious college had a very humble beginning. With no separate building of its own at that time, the classes were initially held in the few class rooms of the nearby Paravanna Government High School. One of the rooms of the nearby private lodge served as the make-shift office room of the College. In 1981, this college was aptly christened as Thunchan Memorial Government College, thus honoring Thunchath Ezhuthachan, the father of Modern Malayalam Language whose birthplace is in the proximity of the college. His birthplace known as ‘Thunchan Parambu’, now preserved as a centre for cultural heritage of Kerala, is only 6 km from our college. Thanks to the untiring enthusiasm and efforts of the College Sponsoring Committee, the college was shifted to its new premises by 1984. The committee received generous help from the public by way of donations. 22.5 acres of salubrious land at Vakkad was purchased and a college building was constructed on the land at a cost of rupees five lakhs. 17th November 1984 is a memorable day in the annals of the college. On this day, the college started functioning in its own building. Thus the present college campus came into existence. The Sponsoring Committee is also credited with arranging the infrastructure and providing the necessary facilities so that the Pre-Degree courses in Humanities (Third Group) and Commerce (Fourth Group) could be started immediately. With unbounded gratitude we remember all the members of the Sponsoring Committee whose yeoman services contributed to the birth and step by step growth of the college. These members did the spade work for developing the college into a good temple of learning. We are grateful to each of them. Members of the Sponsoring Committee: 1. Sri. R. Mohammed Mangalam (President) 2. Sri. C. K. Hameed Haji., Vettom (Vice President) 3. Sri. M. P. Narayana Menon, Vettom (Vice President) 4. Sri. K. Abdulla, B. P. Angadi (Secretary) 5. Sri. N.

It was in this year that the first degree course, viz, B. A. Arabic was sanctioned. In the same year, B.Com. degree was also sanctioned. The college was thus upgraded to the status of a degree college. Even after upgradation to the level of a degree college, the infrastructural facilities available to the college were still inadequate. Yet, we are proud to say that this has not adversely affected the academic output of the college. We have not looked back since we cut our teeth in the educational firmament in 1980. Our students have secured the top university ranks and brought laurel to the college. Soon the need for introducing new courses in science subjects in the college was realized and during the academic year 1993-94, B. Sc. Mathematics was introduced, followed by M. Sc. Mathematics in the year 1995-96. This marked the beginning of the first Post-Graduate Government College in Malappuram district. The following years saw the commencement of new courses in the College. B.A. Malayalam course was sanctioned in the year 1999. In 2004-05, B. Sc. Physics was added to the list of courses in the college. As a result of the continuous effort taken by the teachers, PTA and alumni of our college, 3 PG courses viz., M.A. Arabic, M.Com, and M.A. Malayalam were sanctioned in the academic year 2012-13. At present the college has 5 degree courses and 4 PG Courses. Principal quarters, quarters for teaching and non-teaching staffs were constructed using budget allocation of Kerala state and opened in the year 2012. Student amenity centre and ladies hostel were opened in the year 2015. It is gratifying to note that many of the students who have graduated from this college are occupying top positions in different walks of life. Our Alumni include bearer of Limca Book of Record, administrators, IES officer, teachers, lawyers, politicians, company executives and businessmen. These students are our ambassadors who spread the culture and values they have imbibed from their years of study in this college.
