VTM NSS College

The Nair Service Society established VTMNSS College in 1964 in commemoration of the great freedom fighter, Thalakulathu Velu Thampi Dalava, on the occasion of his 200th birth anniversary. The late Padmabhushan Mannathu Padmanabhan, the founder-visionary of the NSS, is renowned for his remarkable foresight and philanthropy. Imbued with the spirit of imparting education to everyone, regardless of class, community or creed, he established a chain of colleges all over Kerala. VTMNSS College is situated on a hillock at Dhanuvachapuram, en route to Kanayakumari, which is on the southern most tip of Kerala. The idyllic environs of the college provide a congenial ambience for academic pursuits.
