P.K.R. Arts College for Women, an autonomous college affiliated to Bharathiar University is
an unaided college of Arts & Science. It was established with a vision to empower rural
women and is managed by Dhandapani Rural Charitable Trust since 1994. The college is
located in a beautiful locale, surrounded by hillocks and green fields providing a serene and
pleasant atmosphere for learning. The college is dedicated to the everlasting memory of late
[Link], who had a noble vision of educating the masses. Unfortunately, he was
not able to realize his dream during his life time and the responsibility was bestowed on his
grandson, late Thiru P.R. Natarajan, founder correspondent of this college. Inspired by his
grandfather’s ideals, he dedicated his life to enlighten the rural women by starting a women’s
college in the name of his father Late Thiru.P.K. Ramasamy and this college emerged as
P.K.R. Arts College for Women. The ideal of women empowerment was the guiding spirit of
our founder correspondent, which elevated the college to an enviable position within a very
short span of time. His sudden demise has left a void and his name would be inscribed in the
annals of our college.
Thiru [Link], the younger brother of Thiru.P.R. Natarajan, assumed the
office of the correspondent from the year 2007, and he is determined to emulate his brother
and took the college forward. Later, the office of the Correspondent cum Secretary was
assumed by Thiru. [Link] the younger son of the founder correspondent, on
23rd January, 2012. The college is recognized by the university grants commission under
sections 2(f) and 12(B) of the UGC Act. Further, the UGC has given autonomous status to the
college on 6th April [Link] management’s tireless efforts have resulted in getting
affiliation for more number of new courses every year. With strenuous efforts and
progressive results, the college is now offering 12 UG, 8 PG, 7 Research programmes and 2
UGC sponsored add-on courses in Functional English. There are 7 departments with 104
teaching staff members for 2161 students resulting in a healthy teacher–student ratio of 1:21.
With the motto of education, enlightenment, service and discipline, the college works to bring
a new dimension to the concept of higher education.
