Aquinas College is stepping into the year of its Ruby Jubilee Celebrations. Situated in Edakochi, just 100 metres from the State Highway, the institution is hemmed in by Palluruthy to the west, Aroor to the south and Kumbalam to the east. Established in 1981 by the Diocese of Cochin, under the guidance and patronage of His Excellency Rt Rev. Dr Joseph Kureethara, the late Bishop of Cochin, Aquinas College has been instrumental in the rapid educational progress of the youth in this area. The late Bishop envisioned the transformation of this region through this institution which would act as a centre for academics and culture.
