Kokuvil Hindu College (Tamil: கொக்குவில் இந்துக் கல்லூரிKokkuvil Intuk Kallūri, KHC) is a provincial school in Kokkuvil, Sri Lanka.[1][2]
During colonial times, Christianity had a great influence on people and education was in the hands of Missionaries. As English was the official language then, there were only English medium schools. In the year 1900, three dignified people had a desire to start a school in Kokuvil. They were teachers of Jaffna Hindu College namely Mr. Somaskanthar, Mr. Chelliah and Mr. Appakuddi. With the support of well-wishers, a school was begun in Appakuddi's house. When students came from other villages to attend the school the number of students increased and the school was recognised as primary institution and Mr. Chelliah was appointed as the first Head Master by The Jaffna Hindu Board.[3]
In 1926, Tamil divisions were extended up to grade 5 while the English division was upgraded to J.S.C and the school was promoted to "C" Grade. In 1939, the school status was upgraded to "B" Grade and for the first time, the inter-house athletic meet was held at the ground which was used for the railway station. Today the Technical College is situated there. The school flag was designed in white and red. A library too was formed. In 1966, school was promoted to super grade 1AB. In 1972 the KHC primary school was separated as a separate institution. Due to the civil war displacement, the college began to function in Thenmaradchi. In 1998, a computer lab was established with new facilities. In 2010, KHC celebrated its centenary year on a grant scale.[3]
