Degree to facilitate the pursuit higher studies by rural women, as there is no other collese in the vicinity which offers a M.Sc. degree. Now, we have decided to start the D.G.N.M. (Diploma in General Nursing &Midwifery) degree to fulfill the needs of rural women who could hardly afford the degree courses because of their financial constraints. It is our honest endeavour to make our college a full-fledged and modern institution., Adhiparasakthi Trust, Melmaruvathur - 603 319, Chengai M.G.R District, Tamil Nadu,, India.
