Annamalai University |
The Annamalai University was established in 1929 under the Madras Act. The Annamalai University owes its existence to the far-sighted vision of its first Founder Pro-Chancellor Dr.Rajah Sir Annamalai Chettiar. In the nineteen twenties, when the literacy rate was becoming low, Dr.Rajah envisioned to impart education and founded the University and nurtured it as a centre of Learning, Literature and culture. He could also foresee the importance of sciences, pure and applied, and he and his heirs, not only opened up the portals of the University to science and engineering but developed them with a missionary zeal. This mission continues till date guiding the University to greater heights.
