There had been a long persistent demand from the Madurai people for a separate college for Women since admission to Women candidates in the city colleges was very difficult with the growing number of Women students aspiring for college education The Sourashtra college Managing Committee passed a resolution in Sep. 1997 to start a Women's college. Later, it took specific efforts and got the approval of the Government of Tamilnadu for the establishment of a Women's college. It was proposed to start the women's college at Pasumalai itself, adjacent to the land owned by the Sourashtra College council where the Sourashtra College is now located. In a separate enclosure of about 3 acres of land the Sourashtra College for Women was started on 10.8.1998 Starting with just 70 students in the year 1998 - 99 the total strength of the girls, have increased to 340 during the year 2000-2001. The Women's college was functioning in one of the premises of the Sourashtra College and now the College for women has moved to its new building constructed at a cost of Rs. 60 lakhs. The objectives of the Sourashtra college council are to provide education in Arts, Science and other job oriented professional courses like Computer Science etc., to the economically poor students of Sourashtra Community and other s and to see that education reaches to those Women from down-trodden families. Sourashtra College for Women,was started in 1998. Besides B.Com, B.Com (CA), B.Sc. (Computer Science) it is the only institution in Madurai offering a special graduate Course in Nutrition and Dietetics (B.Sc.) which is a coveted subject being highly job oriented.
