About Alagappa Government Arts College
Alagappa Government Arts College, Karaikudi, was founded on August 11, 1947, by the visionary philanthropist Dr. RM. Alagappa Chettiar to serve the educational aspirations of the economically and socially backward sections of the erstwhile Ramnad district. Initially functioning in Gandhi Maligai and later moving to its expansive campus, the institution became a full-fledged government college in 1985. Affiliated with Alagappa University, it offers comprehensive undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs spanning arts, science, commerce, and computer applications.
