Abut the College :
Government Arts and Science College, Sendamangalam, was initially established as a Periyar University Constituent College on 25th July 2017, under the affiliation of Periyar University, Salem. The inception of the college was a significant step towards providing higher education to the students of Kolli Hills, a region identified as educationally most backward, inhabited predominantly by tribal communities. Recognizing the need for educational development in this area, the Government of Tamil Nadu took the initiative to establish this institution to offer quality higher education and uplift the socio-economic status of the region. In its inaugural year of 2017, the college commenced its academic journey with five undergraduate (UG) programs. With a vision to expand educational opportunities, the college introduced two postgraduate (PG) programs in 2019 in M.A., Tamil and M.Com. Commerce. In 2020, the college came under the full administration of the Government of Tamil Nadu, transitioning from a constituent college of Periyar University to a fully government-managed institution. This shift marked a new phase in the college’s development, enabling it to receive enhanced support and resources from the state government. The college aims to provide accessible and quality education, fostering the academic and holistic development of students from rural and tribal backgrounds.
Looking forward, the college aims to expand its course offerings by introducing more UG and PG programs, enhancing research facilities, and providing better infrastructure to cater to the increasing number of students. It strives to become a centre of excellence in higher education in the region, contributing to the academic and socio-economic upliftment of the Kolli Hills and surrounding areas. Government Arts and Science College, Sendamangalam, stands as a beacon of hope and a catalyst for change, providing opportunities for the youth of this backward and tribal region to pursue higher education and achieve their aspirations. The college continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of its students, contributing significantly to the educational and social development of the region.
