 Education is the movement from darkness to light! - Allan Bloom 

Sri Meenakshi Vidiyal Arts & Science College (SMVC) is clearly the exposition of our desire to empower the rural community of the state, notably the poorest rural students. SMVC firmly believes in bringing out the best from its students by intensive training rather than adopting conservative teaching methodologies. Its commitment to be the pioneer of a revolutionary education system for the rural poor in Tamil Nadu, has led to manifest change in rural students towards career progress. Besides affordable college education, the facilities such as state of art library, computer lab, language lab and skill development cells help the students to grow as competent as those with urban background. SMVC also provides welfare facilities in the form of transportation, hostel, and free noon meals for the deserving children. We believe that education is certainly the soul of a society and I think everyone who works with us, takes it from one generation to another. Above all, with the countless blessings of Shri Brahma Jothi Andavar, ASA conglomerate enters the 21st year of its educational services to the rural children and in His name; I wish all the students and staff members a prosperous year.
