Community College provides an alternative system of education which aims to empower individuals through appropriate skill development leading to gainful employment in collaboration with the local industry and the community.

Community Colleges generally have 6-months’ Certificates/ one year Diploma and two year curriculum that leads to an Associate degree. Community Colleges are institutions run “for the community, by the community, and of the community” offering opportunities to all sections of society.

Experience in conducting Community College

SRC Kerala has prior experience in organising various courses since 2009 under the Community College scheme of Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), New Delhi. SRC Community College was affiliated to Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), New Delhi. IGNOU provided certificates and SRC was responsible for the preparation of curriculum, organization of courses and conduct of examinations. Due to some technical / administrative problems of IGNOU, the SRC Community College Courses were discontinued. Now SRC revived the Community College with independent entity and named as SRC Community College. SRC Kerala has framed a set of rules and regulations for the SRC Community College.
