Description
Avinashilingam Institute for Home Science and Higher Education for Women, located in Coimbatore, was founded in 1957 by the eminent patriot and educationist, Padma Bhushan Dr. T.S. Avinashilingam. Initially established as an aided college, it began with 45 women students under the auspices of the Avinashilingam Education Trust. The institution's evolution into its current form owes much to the dedicated efforts of Dr. Rajammal P. Devadas, a trailblazer in the field of Home Science.
The saga of excellence and the rich legacy created by these visionaries has been carefully nurtured and continued by a committed team of individuals. Presently, the transformative vision is being carried forward by Dr. T.S.K. Meenakshisundaram, Managing Trustee of Sri Avinashilingam Education Trust, Dr. T.S.K. Meenakshisundaram, Chancellor, Dr. V. Bharathi Harishankar, Vice Chancellor, and Dr. S. Kowsalya, Registrar, who are dedicated to elevating the institution to its zenith.
Today, Avinashilingam Institute stands as one of the largest educational institutions in the country dedicated to providing quality education for women across all levels. The institute adheres to the educational ideals of Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother Sri Saradamani Devi, Swami Vivekananda, and Mahatma Gandhi, promoting a life of purity, discipline, and service.
