St Philomena College was founded by Msgr Antony Patrao who felt that a College in this part of the state would save the people of the inconvenience of moving to distant places for higher education. He set out to realize his dream and the mission was accomplished in the year 1958.
Since its inception, the Institute has lived up to societal expectations, turning out consistent and appreciable results in academic and non-academic fields. The institution does attempt to treat the primary stakeholders in 5 UG programs and 5 PG programs with a rewarding educational experience.

The Biodiversity Education Initiative is an innovative partnership involving facilities, teachers, and students. Through student projects, research, and leadership opportunities, the initiative demonstrates the Institution’s commitment to boosting campus biodiversity. Students who take part in the program have the chance to participate in activities that use the campus as a living laboratory to locally address the worldwide issue of accelerating biodiversity loss. The Institution consciously makes an effort to induce awareness about nature among the students.
Building capacity among the campus population and the surrounding community is one of the core goals of the Institution. The Institute works to give campus and local populations the tools and training they need to safeguard their local fauna and flora through each of the conservation work programs. The Institute hopes to foster pride in these communities' abundant biodiversity and promote long-term, sustainable preservation of their local environment for future generations.
Programs like the plastic-free campus, green initiatives, street plays, guest lectures, rallies, and community orientation are being organized.
The campus’s lush greenery demonstrates the nature awareness project, which has a variety of flora and fauna present.
