The Department of Physical Education formally came into existence in 1930, found by the legendary Professor C. P. Andrews who was the pioneer in the spread of Physical Education culture and in the creation its infrastructure and training network in the whole of the state. His successors in the Physical Education Department faithfully followed his vision and carried out his policies and programmes adapting to the changing demands of time and the need of the student community. Our department is credited with number of playfields which no other institution in Kerala can be claimed. The continuous process of modernization goes in the departments as per the plan for sports development in stages. Our development programmes involved financial commitments which have always been met by the student community, the staff, former students, management and above all, by friends and well wishers. One other important aspect of our department is the college in Kerala which gives at most importance to groom our national game hockey.
