President Message

Sayyid Abbasali Shihab Thangal

President

It is with immense pleasure, I welcome you to Sayyid Muhammad Ali Shihab Thangal Memorial Arts and Science Women’s College. As the president of the governing body, it is a profound honour to continue serving this institution, which bears the name of my beloved elder brother.

SMSTM College primarily aims to educationally bridge the gap, specifically focusing on the female section of the students’ community. Located in Kattilangadi, Athavanad, a village in Malappuram district, SMSTM educates those who are proven disadvantaged in various ways: gender, geography, class, caste, and community. As an institution, SMSTM stands apart by locating itself in the margins of the larger society around. The functional history of the College stands as a glaring witness to this reality. For almost one decade now, it has educated several social sections, structurally put behind. And, we hope the College bridges these structural gaps more in the future.
