History
The India Cements Limited (ICL), one of India's largest cement companies, has promoted liberal education in arts, cultural, science, technology and sports. ICL has been running educational institutions like Bala Vidyalayas and Higher Secondary Schools at Sankarnagar, Sankagiri, Dalavoi, Chilamkur and Yerraguntla (A.P) and a Polytechnic at Sankarnagar, helping a nearly 7000 strong student community during the past four decades.
With a view to extend its vista in the area of higher education, ICL established a society by name The India Cements Educational Society (Regd.) in 1994. To begin with, the agency promoted this self-financed co-educational college of arts and science in memory of the founder of ICL, Shri T S Narayanaswami, during the academic year 1996-97. Sanction from the Government of Tamil Nadu (G.O.No. 488 dt. 25.7.96) and affiliation from the University of Madras were obtained for running the college from the academic year 1996-97.
