Padmabhushan Shri. N. Ramaswami Ayyar

The Founder of Seethalakshmi Ramaswami College Padmabhushan Shri. N. Ramaswami Ayyar started Savithri Vidyasala Hindu Girls' Higher Secondary School in the year 1938, with a noble purpose of providing education to girls in the background of Indian tradition and culture. In the year 1951, he decided to set up a women’s institution for higher studies with a view to preserve the environment he created in the high school. Seethalakshmi Ramaswami College came into being with a strength of 11 girls and grew into a full-fledged college in 1956. The Founder’s dream of women empowerment came true in an emphatic fashion recently when Smt.Nirmala Sitharaman, an Economics alumna of the college became the Defence Minister of India in September 2017.
