Rt. Rev. Dr. James Kalacherry - the late Bishop
of Changanacherry was a genius of a man and
a great educationist. In 1949, having felt the
poignant need for educated catholic woken, His
grace decided to start a Women's College. The
College started functioning at the commencement
of the Academic year 1950-51, with a strength
of 358 women students. His Grace Mar Mathew
Kavukattu, the first patron of the college,
gave it the name - ASSUMPTION - so as to commemorate
the proclamation of the religious dogma of the
Assumption of Our Lady. Assumption College,
today is one of the biggest colleges for women
in India. Recently she has been honoured with
the R. Shankar Award for the best college in
Kerala. Its aim and objective is to maintain
the highest academic standards giving due respect
to the noblest Christian ideals and moral values
and social justice and create an awareness of
the dignity of womanhood and help from an integrated
personality.
