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.

St Philomena College, Puttur a premier institution in the D.K. District in Karnataka has made an indelible mark in the lives of people, in many aspects. It has made an impact on the young minds creating in them an integral personality. It was the coveted dream of Msgr Antony Patrao, then parish priest of Puttur to enlighten, enkindle and enlarge the minds of people of Puttur with quality education; fruit of which is seen in thousands of Alumni who bear the torch of light, which was lit in them when they were here. It is said that the purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows. I am joyful to see the achievements the College has to its credit. May this institution create more and more windows.
