One of the first 16 Universities in Quite a while, the University of Kerala was established at the University of Travancore in the recent august province of Travancore (a presently southern piece of Kerala and some neighboring pieces of the territory of Tamilnadu) in 1937. During the 7 decades since the University of Kerala developed and contracted physically and changed itself from numerous points of view. It is hard to outline what the Kerala University is in a short space.
The most punctual starting points of the University might be followed back to two establishments of present-day learning in Kerala, the University College, Thiruvananthapuram, and the Trivandrum Observatory. The University College was first established as the Maharaja's Free School by Maharaja Swathi Thirunal in 1834, with Mr. John Roberts. A Christian Missonary as Headmaster, and before long developed into a college in 1866, associated to Madras University. At the point when the University of Travancore was established, the Departments of the college turned into the University Departments, possibly to switch back again when the change to the University of Kerala occurred in 1957. The University College still holds its association with the University as a subsidiary school. The Trivandrum Observatory was established in 1838 and had a universally rumored researcher, John Caldecott FRS as its first Director. It turned into a piece of the Travancore University, yet for quite a while was controlled as a free government establishment. It is currently the most established organization under the Kerala University.
The University of Travancore was set up in 1937 by a proclamation of the Maharajah of Travancore, Sri Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma who was likewise the primary Chancellor of the University. Sir C. P Ramaswamy Ayyar, the then Diwan (Prime clergyman) of the State was the primary Vice-Chancellor. He was a prominent researcher and a capable manager. It is said the Government made a fruitless endeavor to welcome Albert Einstein to be the principal Vice-Chancellor. The University was designed according to the best Universities of the United Kingdom, and even today holds a portion of these highlights. The affiliating arrangement of the University anyway developed to be not the same as the college framework in British Universities.
