The PTA of this college is a powerful body with a great vision. Its orientation is clear from its programmes of which the most important ones are:

A series of seminars on “Relational Psychology of Parents” by Rev. Dr Vincent Alappatt for parents of the undergraduate students were conducted on 7th and 13th August and 2nd September 2002. These sessions in the morning were followed by afternoon sessions on “Relational Psychology of Students”, meant for the undergraduate students. These seminars provided an opportunity for an interaction between the parents and the teachers and; a discussion and evaluation of the performance of their wards.

Two terminal examinations were conducted and the mark lists were promptly sent to the parents concerned. One of the greatest services rendered by the PTA is the running of a students’Counselling Centre, where Dr Basheerkutty, Clinical Psychologist, medical College, Thiruvananthapuram and Rev.Dr Vincent Alappatt are made available for counselling.

The counselors conducted classes for undergraduate students for about a couple of weeks and six hundred students attended the sessions and 115 students availed of personal counselling. Mr T L Jose of Department of Physics deserves special mention for co-ordinating the activities of the counselling center.

Another laudable activity of the PTA is collecting a Students Welfare Fund from among the teachers for assisting the needy. Mr C M Philip of the department of English is the co-ordinator of this fund. This year an amount of Rs 11,250 was collected for distribution among 15 poor students.

As a gesture of concern and goodwill, an adhoc collection of Rs. 16,185 from the staff and students and the amount was donated for the medical treatment of Kum Sumi Syed Alavi.
