Sree Krishna College was established in 1964.

The long-cherished dream of the local people to have a centre of higher education in Guruvayur got realised on 18th July 1964 with the formal inauguration of Sree Krishna College. 

The inaugural course on offer was Pre-Degree Course affiliated to the Kerala University. 

In 1967, the College was shifted to the well accomplished building at Ariyannur that could cater to the needs of a first grade College, which offered degree courses in Arts & Science.
