ARUMUGAM PILLAI SEETHAI AMMAL COLLEGE
TIRUPPATTUR – 630 211 - SIVAGANGAI DISTRICT
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR 2015-2016
Dr.S.Subbiah, Vice-Chancellor, Alagappa University, Karaikudi, has been invited as
the Chief Guest for the 51st Founder‟s Day and College Day Celebrations on March 16
th
2016. Since, the date for assembly elections has been declared as 16.05.2016, the code of
conduct came into effect immediately. The Government of Tamil Nadu instructed all
educational institutions to cancel / postpone all celebrations in the college. Therefore the
Annual Day scheduled for 16.03.2016 was cancelled.
INTERNATIONAL ACHIEVERS AWARD:
Our beloved Secretary Thiru.N.Rameswaran has been awarded the prestigious
International Achievers Award by the International Achievers Conference, New Delhi, for
the year 2015-2016 for his valuable contribution towards the development of the society,
particularly for his commendable achievements in providing quality education to the rural
poor. Only 40 people in India are selected for the award from different fields like Health,
Corporate Sector, Individual Achiever, Education etc., Out of 40 only 5 people are selected
for Education and our Secretary is one among the five achievers selected for education. It is
no wonder that our Secretary has been awarded this honour as we all well know about the
achievements and honours of our management starting from our beloved Founder, former
President and the present President.
Gesture of Gratitude:
I would like to express my profound gratitude to our college Management, our
Respected President.Dato.N.Vasantha Rajan, our beloved Secretary Thiru.N.Rameswaran
and our beloved Secretary – Arumugam Pillai Seethai Ammal College of Education,
Thiru.N.Arumuga Rajan, for the timely and valuable suggestions so that I could steer the
college in the right path and in the right direction. At the same time, I will be failing in my
duty, if I do not mention the co-operation extended to me by our teaching and non-teaching
staff. I have to thank my loving children – students who are my strength and power. I am
deeply indebted to the team of Vice-Principals Dr.N.Ramani, who is completing her 6th
year
as Vice-Principal, and Dr.GV.Gopinath, who is completing his 2nd
year term respectively
2
who had spent more time in the college than with their families. Their dedication to the
college is commendable.
With a view to promote the educational attainment in this backward District and also
to alleviate the unemployment problem due to the lack of educational qualifications,
Arulmamani Thiru.N.T.S.ARUMUGAM PILLAI started this temple of learning in the year
1965 by pooling his hard earned money on a foreign soil.
His philanthropic foresight has brought out this First Grade College offering
undergraduate courses in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Zoology, Computer Science,
Information Technology, Economics, History, English Literature, Business Administration,
Commerce, Post Graduate courses in Economics, English, Commerce & Mathematics,
M.Phil courses in Economics, English, Commerce, Ph.D in Economics, Diploma Courses in
Personnel Management & Industrial Relations, Office Management and Certificate courses in
Spoken English.
Our management has started Arumugam Pillai Seethai Ammal College of Education
by offering B.Ed., program from 2006-2007. The dream of our Founder to provide higher
education to the needy people has been successfully completed by our former President
Thiru.N.A.R.Nagarajan. The dream of providing opportunities to do professional courses has
been successfully fulfilled by the sons of Thiru.N.A.R.Nagarajan, by starting Arumugam
Pillai Seethai Ammal College of Education.
I am also very glad to inform that the Economics Department of our college has been
upgraded as a Research Department from 2006-2007. The Departments of English, Maths,
Commerce & Business Administration Departments have also been upgraded as Research
Department from 2012-2013. The college is registering a steady and continuous growth year
by year. This achievement is made possible by the unstained efforts taken by our revered
Founder and its illustrious sons and grandsons.
STUDENTS STRENGTH:
Even though arts and science colleges have registered a decline in students‟ strength due
to the upcoming of a number of professional colleges, the strength in our college is always on
the increase because of the quality of teaching of our untiring and elite staff aided by campus
discipline. This year we have 2144 students of which 1487 are girls and 657 are boys.
