Our college was functioning as a Distance Education Centre for MBA program offered by Anna University, Coimbatore during 2008.The program was wound up by Anna University due to the policy decision of the University. Every year we conduct a demonstration program in collaboration with the District Fire office as to how to face and manage disasters. This year National Disaster Management Council Conducted a Program in the college. The District Collector was the Chief Guest. The Social awareness and society welfare programs conducted by our NSS volunteers and Youth Red Cross Society Volunteers are innumerable. The appreciation we receive from the beneficiaries is a big strength to us and motivate us to rise to bigger heights. The alumni association on its part has motivated the management and the students to aim for higher laurels. WEAKNESS: Being a rural area, most of the students undergo school studies in their mother tongue. Hence they are lacking communication in English. It is the drawback that the faculties find many difficulties in training the students. Being the Co-Education Institution, the problems of adolescence arise. Moreover some girl students get married and deliver to a child at the age of 17 or 18. They are not able to concentrate on their Studies. But through proper counseling by Women’s Club and Students Counselling Cell the institution has taken steps that students should realize the importance of Education and placement before they get married. Attrition by staff members is another problem faced by us. Staff members migrate to other job preferably Govt. jobs , after gaining experience.
