St Thomas College Pala

St Thomas College Pala is situated in Kottayam, Kerala. The pin code is 686574. We have been here in Pala for a long time, and the college is a big part of the town's identity. Kerala is known for its greenery, and around the college, you can see a lot of that. The rain can be very heavy here, and we spend a lot of months under umbrellas walking between the different buildings. It is a quiet place compared to the big cities, but during the day when the students are here, it gets very lively. We aren't a fancy new building; we have some history to the walls. You can find us pretty easily if you just ask anyone in Pala where the college is. The staff here is mostly local people who have lived in Kottayam for years. We do our work, have our tea, and look after the place. It’s a simple routine. Sometimes the mist rolls in from the hills and it looks very nice. We don't have a lot of corporate polish or big mission statements on the walls. We just teach the classes and keep the grounds as neat as we can. Being in a place like Pala means you know your neighbors and the people at the local shops. It is a very grounded way of life. We just keep going, year after year, right here in the same spot.
