Sree Narayana College, Sivagiri, Varkala, is situated close to the famous Sivagiri Hills, the eternal abode of the saint Sree Narayana Guru. The institution had a very humble beginning on 1st June 1964 as a junior college. But soon under the dynamic leadership of the late Sri.R.Sankar, the founder Manager of Sree Narayana Trusts and Sree Narayana Colleges, it was upgraded to a Degree college in 1967.

The Institution acquired the distinction of a Post Graduate college, when MA Economics and MSc Physics were started. At present the college has 105 teachers and 66 non-teaching staff on its rolls. From its very inception, the college has maintained a very high standard in academic and non-academic fields.
