The visionary fervour of our institution and our founder is well known in the southern districts of Tamilnadu, India.At a time when women education was not given much importance in 70’s in TamilNadu, our Founder President Thiru. Kulapathy A.P.C. Veerabahu thought of educating the poor rural girls who could not think of higher education.His firm determination and selfless devotion paved way for establishing the institution exclusively for women. To give fillip to his thoughts, our founder President started this college in 1973.  His main objective was to cater to the needs of rural women folk.This cosmic vision of his, is essentially the privilege of an enlightened intellect.

Prioritizing the importance of imparting knowledge and inculcating discipline and self-confidence among the rural women, he founded the institution, naming it after his step mother, A.P.C.Mahalaxmi Ammal. As he wished, the institution has always trodden a non sectarian, non-commercial, service-oriented path to reach the summit of success. Besides catering to the academic needs, this institution marshals all resources to work for the empowerment of women. “Anbu, Arivu, Aram” being the motto, the Institution also staunchly believes in National Integration.
