Shri. Sri Prakasa, the then Governor of Madras Presidency, performed the auspicious task of inauguration on 25 June 1952 at the Jain Boarding Home Premises in Madley Road,T.Nagar. The College was shifted to its new campus in Meenambakkam in 1954. On that occasion, two educationists, Dr. S. Radhakrishnan (the then Vice-President of India) and Dr. A. Lakshmanaswami Mudaliar (the then Vice-Chancellor of the University of Madras) attended. The former laid the foundation stone and the latter presided over the function.
