Sree Narayana Guru College of Advanced Studies, Vazhukumpara, an initiative of a group of academicians and managed by Sree Narayan Vidyapeetam Educational Trust, Kannara, is a stepping stone to bring to our reach the ever expanding horizons of education. It was Sree Narayana Guru, the great social reformer of Kerala, after whom the college is named, who exhorted us to enrich ourselves through education. The college is situated on five acres of land commanding a panoramic view of the distant western ghats. The green acres are studded with vegetation creating a verdant landscape. Undoubtedly this backdrop of silent cool pasturly greenery, far from the din and bustle of towns, provides the requisite ambience for housing Minerva, the goddess of wisdom. The upcoming three story building has been designed to accomodate the various departments of study and research in this Temple of Learning.
