The aim of setting up a college in the village of Thavalakuppam was to serve the student community coming from the surrounding rural areas who have to travel long distances to teach the town in search of quality education. The College reserves 75% admission for rural students. The staff-teaching and non-teaching, offer quality education and services in the effort to give all the students an equal opportunity for learning and development through holistic education which is strongly grounded in values.
