He wanted to aspire for creating a just and humane society where dignity of human beings is respected, unjust social structures are challenged, the national legacy of diversity, secularism, non-violence and national integration are upheld and where the poor and the marginalized are taken care of. It was not an easy job to administer the college. Though there were many hurdles our founder successfully surmounted them and developed the college.
He started the V. O. Chidambaram college of Education in the year 1955. Usually girls in those days were not allowed for higher education. To overcome that he started A. P. C. Mahalaxmi College for Women in the year 1973.
” Education should not be commercialized on any account “ was the mind set of our founder Kulapathy A. P. C. Veerabahu and he achieved it. He rendered his lifetime for all such services and even his last-minute thinking was about the institutions.
His last wish was that the college should continue to sustain his mind set that education should not be commercialized, it has been and will be gratified forever.
