Commencement
The elite of Thiruvalla, arguably the educational and cultural capital of the former Travancore state, had to go to the neighboring towns whenever they wanted to spend their leisure in a relaxed atmosphere. So, the need of a socio-recreational club in Thiruvalla itself had been felt by many in town for a long time.
Finally, a group of youngsters with support and supervision of elders put an idea for a social club at Thiruvalla. The reasons for the development of the club are many. Of the first, there is no recreation facility in and around Thiruvalla. There is not even a park for relaxation. All these in mind, a group of citizens gathered to form a club at the heart of Thiruvalla.
Confederate Intention
The Travancore club is focused on humanitarian services and maintain high standards, along with goodwill and peace. The club is structured to fortify and sustain our community and family life in and around Tiruvalla…
