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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“The history of mankind interests us only as it exhibits a steady gain of truth and right, in the incessant conflict which it records between the material and the moral nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“To history therefore I must refer for answer, in which it would be an unhappy passage indeed, which should shew by what fatal indulgence of subordinate views and passions, a contest for an atom had defeated well founded prospects of giving liberty to half the globe.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
