Kerala will get the foremost place in the field of education in India. Cochin and Travancore enjoyed the status of the second most literate states in India during the colonial times. The London Missionary Society was formed in England on September 21, 1795 as a result of an evangelical revival which swept through England in the last decades of the eighteenth century. The purpose of the present study that has adopted analytical interpretative method is to examine the educational advancement of Travancore under the LMS. William Tobias Ringeltaube, the first LMS missionary in South Travancore, was responsible for the introduction of English education in Travancore. Charles Mead is known as the father of sourn Travancore. He spent much time to learn Tamil, visiting churches and inspecting schools (Letter from Mead, 1818). In 1818 when the Mission found ten schools, Mead shifted his headquarters to Nagercoil, from Mayilady (EMMC, 1822, P.36). The pioneering work ‘imitated’ by the missionaries may be regarded as a clarion call for the socio-religious reform movements that were accomplished by Vaikunda Swamikal, Sree Narayana Gur, Ayyankali and others.
