Government Sanskrit College, Thiruvananthapuram , was founded in 1889 by the then King of Travancore; Sri Mulam Thirunal Rama Varma. The library was also established in the same year. Great scholars like AR Raja Raja Varma, Mahamahopadhyaya Dr. T Ganapathi Sasthri, Sri. V Krishnana Tampi, Dr. P K Narayana Pillai headed the college and library was their pet division which they nourished by developing the collection by purchase as well as donation from their own libraries. Even the publication of college's faculty since its establishment if collected together will form a big library. The Sanskrit books it houses is larger than the Sanskrit book collection of any university or other research institute in the region.
