Pookoya Thangal Memorial (P.T.M.) Government College, Perinthalmanna
was established in July 1975, as a resonance to the pressing demand of
the public for an institution providing university education to the younger generation
of Perinthalmanna and its Suburbs. The College committee constituted
with Dr. P.R. Warriar as President and Advocate C. Koya as the Secretary
and a team of enlightened public men as its members took upon itself the responsibility
of finding and equipping a suitable place to house the College temporarily.
The western wing of the main building of the Government Polytechnic,
Perinthalmanna and also its auditorium came in hand for the purpose and
with certain arrangements and alteration; it was made ready for the College.
The College committee acquired 25.01 acres of land, 3 kms away from Perinthalmanna
at Pathaikkara, a serene and picturesque spot, in 1979 and the college
was shifted to present campus on 10.12.1987. The college was upgraded as
Degree College from the academic year 1991-92 and PG Course started during
2001-02. The College has been included under Sections 2(f) & 12(B) of UGC
act since 2007.
