Shrimati Indira Gandhi College was founded in 1984 by that great educationist Vidys Seva Ratnam K. Santhanam, as the then secretary of National College Council, with the active support of President Y.Venkateshwara Dikshidhar. It is situated in the heart of the town, right opposite to the Chatram Bus stand. It is an unaided college and one of the first two colleges in the State founded simultaneously and exclusively for Women. It was so named in remembrance of the greatest women Prime Minister of the world. There is a life size statue of Indira Gandhi in the campus to inspire the students. Classes commenced with the Blessings of His Holiness the 44th Jeer of Shri Ahobila Mutt on 15th October 1984. The college was formally inaugurated by the then Vice president of India His Excellency Sri.R.Venkataraman.
The Object of the Founders was to strive for the Economic Empowerment of Women through Economic Independence, achieved by Employment through Job Oriented courses. This object has been amply fulfilled down the years. Our Alumni are well placed and well settled both in India and abroad. Started with humble beginnings with 2 courses and 10 Teachers the college attained rapid growth in a short while and secured public recognition as a premier institution for the Higher education of Women. Today we have near fifty courses and prepare students for high academic Degrees like M.B.A, M.C.A and Ph.D besides U.G and P.G Degrees in varied Disciplines.
The speciality of the college is that besides Banking at Degree level and Hospital Administration at the PG level, we offer Computer Science at all levels, from B.Sc to Ph.D. Even non-computer students are taught the basics of Computer Application. We also offer M.B.A and M.C.A with AICTE Approval. The credit for the miraculous growth of the college in the early years is due in no small measure to the dedication and hard work of the Founder Secretary K.Santhanam. For the first half a dozen years, he was engaged in finding Teachers, regulating admissions, providing infrastructure, getting New Affiliations, putting up New Blocks, corresponding with AICTE for starting the M.B.A and M.C.A programmes, getting permanent Affiliation from the University, UGC Recognition for the college and Accreditation by NAAC and he did all this single handed.
To enable the students to acquire an integrated personality, endowed with Character, Culture, Compassion and Discipline.
To foster Higher Education and the Upliftment of Women in Society in general and the improvement of their Economic Status and Independence in particular.
