The Thrissur Government College was established in response to strident demands from various sections of the society to have a Government College in Thrissur, the cultural capital of the State. The goals were to promote excellence in the sphere of higher education and cater to the needs and aspirations of the less privileged sections of the society. The college started functioning in the present Government Training College premises on the 14th of August, 1972 with 200 students and 9 teachers. The NAAC peer team visited the college on 19th and 20th of December 2005 and the college was accredited with B+ Grade (78.2% marks). In 2008, the Ladies Waiting Room was inaugurated and in the same year Edusat Connectivity was made available to the college. In 2011 the Smart P.G. Class Rooms were made available to the students.During 2012-13, two Science courses – B Sc Computer Science and B Sc Psychology – were started in the college.
