Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar

The Annamalai University owes its existence to the vision, wisdom, benefaction and philanthropy of Dr. Rajah Sri Annamalai Chettiar. As early as 1920, he founded the Sri Minakshi College at the temple town of Chidambaram. In 1928, the Annamalai University Act was passed by the Madras State (government) and Sri Minakshi College formed the nucleus of this unitary and residential University. With its rural setting and progressive outlook, the seat of this seminary of higher education came to be called Annamalai nagar after its illustrious Founder.
