Arumugam Pillai Seethai Ammal College (APSA)

Overview

Thiru. N.T.S. Arumugam Pillai, our founder, hailing from Tiruppattur, a socially and educationally backward area, migrated to Malaysia to earn his fortune and became a business magnet and rose to eminence in Malaysia. The King of Malaysia honored him with the highest title of the country, namely AMN in recognition of his generosity and philanthropy. Holding the conviction that education is the key to open the doors of upliftment, he started this College in July 1965 and thereby brought the unknown and unheard Tiruppattur in the educational map of Tamilnadu. Born out of his benevolence, our College has made it possible for the poor people of Tiruppattur to gain access to the portals of higher education. The magnificent building like a temple, speaks of the noble and selfless desire of our beloved founder that this citadel of learning could withstand the test of time and cater to the educational needs of the poor and downtrodden of Tiruppattur and its neighborhood century after century. But for this College, it would not have been possible for the people of Tiruppattur especially women to get higher education.
