This institution was established with Arts subject courses of under-graduate wing of University College, Thiruvananthapuram in 1993-1994, with minimum infrastructural facilities. During 1996-97 all under graduate courses were shifted back to University College Thiruvananthapuram. In the meanwhile, courses in Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Computer Science and statistics were introduced at the undergraduate level and the college has been renamed as Government College, Kariavattom in 1997. Botany, Zoology, Chemistry and Mathematics are the other subjects in the above courses. Subsequently in 1998 Geography at the undergraduate level was introduced and in the year 1999 -2000, two restructured double main semester courses, namely Physics & Computer Application and Chemistry & Industrial Chemistry were introduced at the undergraduate level.
Geology and Statistics were introduced as subsidiary subjects for Geography. The College possesses 15 acres of land. Construction of additional blocks and expansion of laboratories and class rooms for present and future needs are going on. In general, the courses run by this college are the first of its kind in this state and are having demand and job prospects.

MISSION
In the present scenario, technology overpowers the society as a whole. Academics of our college touches all walks of human life ranging from the very basic Geographical study of earth to the mysteries of the world through Physics. One of the most remarkable features of our college is that our doors are wide open to all aspects of human knowledge, which includes the challenging Biotechnology, the ever promising Computer Science, the flourishing Statistics and the mysterious Chemistry and Biochemistry. Bringing together all these, the institution aims at creating an era of technogeeks. The College also makes it a point to inculcate and impart moral values and virtues through various languages and philosophy. Thus we mould a generation of children who are “Techsavvy with responsibility.”
