Founder Secretary – Kulapathy
A.P.C. Veerabahu
A Gandhian by thought, Shri. A.P.C.
Veerabahu had understood the fact that the independent of the nation alone will
not raise the standard of the people. Having seen the condition of the socially
and economically deprived section even after independence, Kulapathy realised
that education alone would liberate them in the real sense. So in the year
1951, he founded V.O.Chidambaram College despite all financial hurdles.
Starting from its inception till now, the college remains a temple of learning
for all the deprived sections of people in the Southern Tamil Nadu. The
successful establishment of V.O.Chidambaram College led to the founding of
V.O.Chidambaram College of Education in 1955 and A.P.C.Mahalaxmi College for
Women in the year 1973.
Hon. Secretary A.P.C.V. Chockalingam
It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you all
to V.O.Chidambaram college for the new academic year 2020-21. I cherish
this time of the year with all. The new entrants bring in novel and innovative
ideas to our campus and infuse a remarkable energy in each one of us. This
helps us work with renewed passion and commitment towards realizing our vision-Education
for all .The college is committed to its vision . We aim
at extending a helping hand in the upliftment of the lower strata of the
society through education.
We believe in the vision of our founder
Secretary Kulapathy A.P.C. Veerabahu that
education alone can liberate and emancipate the youth in the real sense.
In the process of emancipation the students have an enormous responsibility to
identify the available opportunities, collaborate and realize the vision
of our college along with faculty members and non-teaching who together make
this institution. Let us remind ourselves that this year holds possibilities of
new avenues and it is our chance to explore it and make it possible as a
family.
Principal Dr. C. Veerabahu
Since 1951 V.O. Chidambaram College has established a reputation for providing a dynamic educational foundation for the socially and economically deprived sections of the society. In addition to our commitment to a value centered approach to learning, we are excited to offer a learning program to millions of young minds. We believe that our purpose of existing is to honour, value and impart knowledge to all. V.O.Chidambaram College strives to open new doors for each student by acknowledging and encouraging personal interest, talents and needs.
While preference is shown to the educational
and cultural needs of the socially and financially marginalized community,
admission is open to all irrespective of caste, creed and nationality. This
institution was created with an objective of providing 360 degree quality
education which will enable students not only to thrive in academics but also
motivate them towards character building, leadership, extra and co-curricular
activities. A very strong, dedicated and
capable team of educators has always been the driving force in the growth of
the College. Our commitment at V.O.Chidambaram College is to provide a
conducive and intellectually challenging environment that will empower students
to become innovative thinkers, creative problem solvers and inspired learners
prepared to thrive in the 21st Century with a humane touch.
I am honoured and very proud to serve and
lead V.O.Chidambaram College. It is my obsession for education that has driven
me to endeavour for a comprehensive and culturally receptive educational
environment where every individual is given adequate support and enthusiasm to
achieve his/her objective. However, we are never complacent and we constantly
improve ourselves, in order to serve the community with the very best
education. I am confident that with the support of our students, staff,
parents, alumni/ae, well-wishers and benefactors, we will continue to flourish
and prosper and serve the society at large.
