Sri Sankara Arts and Science College

Sri Sankara Arts and Science College had the vision of reviving the Gatikasthana through modern temples of learning. In addition to a number of Patasalas (Vedic Schools) run by Sri Sankara Mutt, the first of its kind being SRI SANKARA ARTS & SCIENCE COLLEGE , founded to provide quality higher education to the rural folk and to promote among the youth,the highest and loftiest ideals that constitute the essence of our culture.

With a vision to revive the scholarship and research existed in the hoary past in the Kanchi Gatikasthana, the Swamiji also envisaged an ambitious future for this institution in keeping abreast with the scientific and technological developments and social changes. Kanchipuram , a temple city , one of the seven heavenly abodes in India , is surrounded by socially and economically backward villages and the people of these villages are depending upon agriculture and weaving.

Hence the college takes up on itself the two - fold responsibility of achieving individual and collective development of the population as a whole on the one hand, and of securing the educational advancement of the backward and marginalized sections of the community on the other. National Development is envisioned through the upliftment of the society in the backward villages of this district by imparting knowledge and inculcating values - moral , culture and ethical , to mould responsible citizens with merit and caliber , discipline , dedication and devotion.
