Given the enormous amount of material available on this subject, this collection is not exhaustive or complete. Its aim has been twofold. First, to; trace the historical development of education through the compilation of important government sojurces..ancj s^condlj^ to^mark the significant stages in the evolution of higher education as reflected in the administrative measures undertaken by the State. In the process it seeks to fill a void in: the extant literature on the history of education in Kerala. The growth of higher education in Kerala has been through the combined efforts of both the government and private agencies. The main source of support^ till recently when professional education overtook the general education, has, however, been the government. In the rightly acclaimed proclamation of Rani Gouri Parvathi Bai in 1817, the state had owned the responsibility of educating the people. In the area of higher education the government has fulfilled this responsibility in two ways. Under its aegis several higljer education institutions, including universities were established. There are forty colleges under government management and ten universities now in the state. At the same time the state supports private, institutions by land grants and by providing financial support for the payment of salary of teachers as well as a major part of the cost of maintenance. Over the years private institutions have outdistanced the public institutions. There are 152 aided colleges and 168 unaided colleges today. The private institutions were established by Christian missionaries and social organizations with philanthropic intent, but in the changed'circumstances the lure for power, patronage and money have become dominant puiposes. This volume is intended to be a ready reckoner. As such it could be a reference tool for administrators, a source of information for students and * a guide for further enquiry for teachers. The Council is indebted to Prof V. JCardiikeyanNair for undertaking this work and forproducing the volume within the prescribed schedule.

KARTHIKEYAN NAIR 02/05/2011 NOTE TO THE READER Nobody can ever claim that all records produced in the past ii| connection with a particular theme or epoch are collected for compilation. History is alwayes less than the actual past. This book does not include all documents collected for the purposed Many more records are yet to be found out. Many might have been lost oi destroyed. Many may remain hidden beneath or amidst the huge stock oi papers thrown carelessly in the record rooms of colleges, governmen|^ offices or similar institutions. They have to be recovered, scrutinised and- compiled for creating a complete picture. The collection is mainly a cross-section of Government records pertaain to the three former administrative units-Travancore, Cochin and Malabar. It is meant to be exhaustive. The selection is undertaken with an eye for continuity for weaving together the story of the evolution of education system in the state. The full text of the recommendations of various education commissions and education codes are not presented here. Only the relevant chapters or portions are included in the list. Most of the documents belonging to the pre-independence period contain information related to both school and higher education because there was no administrative separation between the two. The documents which predominantly contain infonnation regarding school education are not selected for publication. Thiruvananthapuram V. KARTHIKEYAN NAIR 02/05/2011 VI LIST OF DOCUMENTS SI.Not.

History Kasaragod, the northernmost district of Kerala, is endowed with rich natural resources and is noted for its majestic forts, ravishing rivers, hills, green valleys and beautiful beaches. The rich and varied cultural heritage of the district is portrayed through spectacular presentations of Theyyam, Yakshagana, Poorakkali, Kolkali and Mappilappattu. Seven languages are prevalent in Kasaragod. Malayalam is the administrative language. Other languages are Kannada, Tulu, Konkani, Marati, Urdu and Beary.Prior to State reorganization, Kasaragod was part of the South Kanara district.Kasaragod became a part of Malabar district following the reorganization of States and formation of unified Kerala State. Later, Kasaragod Taluk of Malabar district was bifurcated in to Kasaragod and Hosdurg Taluks and integrated with the then newly formed Cannanore district. Kasaragod became part of Kerala following the re-organization of states and formation of Kerala in 1st November 1956.The district was Kasaragod Taluk in Kannur District.The formation of Kasaragod district was a long felt ambition of the people.It is with the intention of bestowing maximum attention on the development of backward area, Kasaragod district was formed on 24th May,1984 as per GO (MS)No.520/84/RD, Dated 19.05.1984 by taking Kasaragod and Hosdurg taluks from the then Kannur district.The name Kasaragod is said to be derived from the word Kasaragod which means Nuxvemied Forest(Kanjirakuttam). 1.2.

  • Institutional Dynamics of Local Self Governance Systems in the Malabar Coast, Kerala1 Baiju K K2
    INSTITUTIONAL DYNAMICS OF LOCAL SELF GOVERNANCE SYSTEMS IN THE MALABAR COAST, KERALA1 BAIJU K K2 Abstract The effectiveness of state laws continues to challenge the top-down management of common property resources in many coastal villages in Kerala. Most often, state‟s response to common property management is unidirectional and opens up channels to transform common property rights to open access. Amidst these institutional struggles, local self governing institutions continue to challenge state legal systems and evolve multi-dimensional governance systems. This paper documents the working of intrinsically diverse kadakkody’ (sea court) system in the Malabar Coast of Kerala, India and discusses how the local level community-based self-governing institutions change due to technological developments and state interventions. The Kadakodi system that existed in the study area during the pre-mechanisation era was an integrated complex governing system of the artisanal fishermen with regulative, normative and cognitive functions. The paper addresses three questions. What was the nature and functions of the kadakkodi system during the pre- mechanisation era? What are the major drivers of change? How did this system overcome stresses and adapt to the challenges of globalisation? Key words: Kadakkodi, self governance, common property, community-based management, institutions, conflict 1 Greatly Acknowledge Prof .Dr. K.T.Thomson for his comments . 2 Research scholar, School of Industrial Fisheries, Cochin University of Science and Technology, Kerala, India, E. Mail: [email protected] 1 Introduction Local self governing systems delivered a variety of useful services for the management of traditional fisheries in many countries (Townsend, 1995; Townsend, et.al.,2008; Berkes, 1986; Gray, 2005; Kurien, 2002).

  • Report on National Education Policy 2020 & Kerala
    Report of the Six Member Committee on National Education Policy 2020 and Kerala The Kerala State Higher Education Council Thiruvananthapuram November 2020 Index Section – I NEP: General Observations 1-12 Section – II National Education Policy 2020 and Higher Education in Kerala 13-19 Addendum Research and Innovation in the HE sector in Kerala – Problems and Prospects – 20-28 Appendix – I Salient Features of NEP 2020: Higher Education 1-22 FOREWORD On July 29, 2020, the Union cabinet gave its approval to a document The National Education Policy 2020 which was to replace the earlier policy of 1986. However, since education belongs to the Concurrent List in the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution, a national education policy can be finalized only through the concurrence of both the Centre and the states. And as state governments had not been consulted during the preparation of the new document released by the Centre, it was felt that this document now had to be debated by the state governments before a final National Education Policy could be evolved, based on their reactions. To help this debate, the Kerala State Higher Education Council set up a small Committee of literati and educationists under my Chairpersonship to prepare a report on the Centre’s document. What follows is the text of our report. I would like to thank the many scholars who attended a day-long conference called by the Kerala State Higher Education Council to discuss the Central document. I would also like to thank those who gave us comments when our draft report was put up for public discussion.
