Sadakathullah Appa College

About Institution

Ever since the British period the twin towns of Tirunelveli and Palayamkottai, intersected by the perennial Thamirabarani River, have been great centres of learning. The Tirunelveli district has a sizeable Muslim population which felt the need for an institution of higher education. Due to the dedicated and sincere efforts of the Muslim elite, a College of arts and sciences, named after the noted Arabic scholar Sadakathullah Appa, was started in 1971.
