Her training of students in reciting College song of Goddess Sri Akilandeswari is an inspiring one.
Congratulations!!
Patience, kindness and endless dedication made this great Institution to enter into the glorious 27th year. Our
most respected Chairman is known for such qualities. I came to know that this Institution is accelerating on success
mainly because of young, energetic and innovative leader Ln.Er.Thiru.M.Ramanan. The Professors as glittering stars,
administrative staff as catalyst, highly interested students, supportive parents and public have helped to achieve “A”
grade in NAAC Re-accreditation. Good results with many University Ranks, innumerable Elite and Silver grades in
SWAYAM linked courses, many job opportunities in National and International Companies through Internshala,
participation in all need based courses conducted by Government and Non-Government Institutions, remarkable
percentage of placements, introduction of Ph.D. courses and women development through innovative start- ups are
some important indicators of the academic excellence of this great Institution.
I wish success in all fields that the Management is trying to enter.

I am proud to be a part of this College since 1995. We started our service at Thellar Swamy Abedhanandha
Polytechnic College, with 30 students and 5 staff members. In 1996, we moved to our original campus at Vandavasi and
every year our Management is striving a lot to upgrade the status of the College, Our Chairman Ln.Thiru
B.Munirathinam Sir and our young champion Ln.Er.Thiru M.Ramanan Sir have done a lot in all ways academically in
order to improve the status of the rural girls and to uplift them and make to lead a confidential independent citizen. This
College has started many Innovative courses, mainly job oriented courses, wherein students can lead a successful
future. The best part of this college ia Alumni and Placement where our Secretary Sir has strived a lot in getting
placement offers to our students. Various clubs are very active in all ways with the constant support of the Management,
Principal. Staff (Teaching and Non-teaching) and Students. A lot can be highlighted of this great Institution and its
achievements. 25 years has passed and Silver Jubilee has been successfully celebrated with many achievements. I

“The influence of the great Person can never be erased.”
I was the Principal of Sri Akilandeswari Women's College, Wandiwash from June 2008 to May 2013. That was
the golden period in my life, as I found that this was the only Self financing College which gives much importance not only
for Women's study but also a College which cares for Women's Discipline and their Welfare in all aspects. The
Management gives much care for Principal, Staff and Students. Though I had 36 years of experience at various Govt.
Colleges, I never experienced the love and affection which was given by this Management. I can never forget those
memorable days in my life. The students of this College are the luckiest and they had brought laurels to the College by
getting University Ranks and most of them today are in good jobs and position. The Management treats very one as their
family members. I felt homely atmosphere during my service in this Institution. May God Bless the Management to give
them more potential so as to enable them to serve the society of rural women folk in all adventures. I wish the
Management to succeed more in future. All the Best.
