Principal
Nestled in the serene hills and valleys of Uzhavoor, St. Stephen's College stands as a proud emblem of educational excellence and social commitment, a beacon that has guided countless students toward a brighter future since its founding in 1964. Established under the aegis of the Knanaya Catholic Archdiocese of Kottayam and affiliated with Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, our college owes its existence to the visionary efforts of His Excellency Rev. Dr. Thomas Tharayil, the then Bishop of Kottayam. This noble endeavor was further shaped by the leadership of Sri Joseph Chazhikadan, ex-MLA, and Rev. Fr. Peter Uralil, our first principal. Their tireless efforts, combined with the unwavering support of the people of Uzhavoor and a host of well-wishers, who generously contributed both financially and physically, have transformed the college into a majestic institution of learning in this scenic land. The college has played a pivotal role in the economic development of Uzhavoor and nearby areas by providing quality education that has empowered generations of students, many of whom now hold prominent positions around the world.

Through initiatives like the "Grama Mithra Campus" and "Snehanidhi," we actively contribute to the upliftment of society, particularly the underprivileged. Our NSS, NCC, and CEERD units are vibrant and engage in numerous activities that promote social awareness and responsibility.
Our mission remains to mold morally upright, socially committed individuals ready to meet the challenges of the world, with a firm belief that true empowerment comes through experience.
