Department of Malayalam has been functioning in the college from the inception of the college. Dr. Joseph K J and Mr.Santhosh T.George  are the  lecturers in the department. Various literary & cultural programs are conducted for the students in collaboration with different clubs and associations functioning in the college, such as Sargam Literary Association (later renamed  Book Club), Media Club Focus Film Club etc.

                        Almost 75% of the students opt for Malayalam as their Part II second language as it is their mother tongue. The course content is designed in such a way that students choosing Malayalam as second language will be able to understand deeply the cultural and linguistic heritage of Kerala and  to imbibe modern trends in Malayalam literature. The department also envisages that through this course, historical, sociological and cultural aspects of our rich heritage would be transmitted to students. There are separate syllabi for Part II Malayalam for BSc (Language reduced pattern) and B.Com courses.

          The Department conducts Second Language courses for Ist and IInd year degree students. Through various programmes and activities the Department strives to instill in the students a love for the national language. The  Hindi Day is celebrated on 14^th September by conducting  programmes and competitions  for the students of various colleges affiliated to Kannur University. Sri. Rakesh Kalia is the lecturer in the department.
