Sree Sankara College is a Higher Educational Institution that was founded in Kalady, Kerala state in India in 1954 by Swami Agamananda, a scholar of the Hindu sect from Sri Ramakrishna Advaita Ashram.
The institution was established with a view to educate attendees on the teachings of Adi Shankaracharya and to enshrine the birthplace of shri Shankaracharya as a cultural hotspot. It consists of 21 Departments offering an Undergraduate Degree, a Graduate Degree and a Doctorate Degree. The college also consists of learning programs with an alternate, smaller curriculum that awards Diploma programs.
The institution was raised to the status of a First Grade College in 1956. It is affiliated to the Mahatma Gandhi University.
