The Scott Christian College acquired under the able missionaries all that was needed for a higher educational institution. Under their exemplary leadership, this college grew into a great centre of learning. Besides seeking new knowledge, the Scott Christian College had a responsibility to the society as a whole. Situated in the midst of the backward and oppressed people the college worked as an instrument of social change. It was the first college in Kanyakumari district. The pioneer work of the missionaries in the Scott Christian College was an eye opener even to the Government of Travancore. Those who studied in the college secured employment in the government. The students trained in the Scott Christian College became great leaders of the society. They occupied high positions in the academic, political and commercial fields.
