Executive Summary Section I Nirai Nangaiyar – Our Mission The mission of Sri Sarada College for Women is to mould young girls into perfect women with purity of heart and strength of mind. In fact, this is the vision of our Revered Founder Srimath Swami Chidbhavananda and his great desire was that the girls who enter the portals of this Temple of Learning should leave it as “Nirai Nangaiyar” – ‘the perfect women’. Thus, Sri Sarada College, Tirunelveli has been established in the year 1986 to fulfill two specific needs or rather a two-fold need to the people of Tirunelveli and the nearby villages where from we get many first generation college goers, the daughters of peasants and weavers – no doubt the oppressed and downtrodden.
