 ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY
Manonmaniam Sundaranar University (MSU), named after the famous Tamil Scholar
Professor P. Sundaram Pillai, was established on 7 September, 1990 to cater to the long felt
needs of the people of the three southern most districts of Tamil Nadu namely Tirunelveli,
Tuticorin and Kanyakumari. The University has under its jurisdiction 61 affiliated colleges, 5
Mano Colleges and 1 Constituent College with 65,000 students on rolls. These colleges,
amongst which three are over 100 years old (St. John's College, M.D.T. Hindu College, Sarah
Tucker College, the oldest women's college in the state), have contributed decisively to the
cause of higher education of this region.
There are 24 academic departments in the University. Sri Paramakalyani Centre for
Environmental Sciences functioning at Alwarkurichi is an illustrious example of University -
Industry collaboration while the Centre for Marine Science and Technology at
Rajakkamangalam is breaking new ground in Coastal Area Studies. The University Grants
Commission, New Delhi, an apex higher education body of the Union Government, has
accorded its recognition for awarding financial assistance to this university since 29 March
1994. The University has been accredited by National Assessment and Accreditation Council
of India with five star status.
The Courses offered by the University have been designed keeping in mind the
changing times and the emerging needs of the region. The University offers post graduate,
M.Phil, and Ph.D. Programmes (Full time and Part time). MSU is the first to offer Choice-
Based Credit System. The University's National Service Scheme and Youth Welfare
Department provide opportunities for the students to develop their overall personality. The
University Library has rich collection of books and journals on a wide range of subjects.
The concept of community colleges, being experimented under the aegis of a special
wing, offer diploma courses of one year duration to those interested in entrepreneurial
enterprises and the Extension Learning Programme run by this wing also offers diploma and
certificate courses on skill development.
The University Act authorizes the functioning of the Directorate of Distance and
Continuing Education outside the university jurisdiction and the courses offered through this
mode are recognized by the Distance Education Council of India. The Directorate has about
160 Learning Centers across the country with a commitment to extend the reach of the higher
education carrying forward a pronunciamento "to reach the unreached".

 FROM THE DIRECTOR'S DESK

In a study conducted by World Bank it has been found that the role of human capital
in development is far more important than physical capital. The average ratio of human
capital to physical capital is 80:20 in most developed countries, while in developed countries
it is 64:36. Even underdeveloped Sub-Saharan African countries have achieved 50:50. For
India, it has been estimated that access to atleast 20% of the relevant age group, between 17
and 23, in higher education is necessary to ensure development on a par with the needs of the
day. In this context the role Distance Learning System can play needs no elaboration. The
pursuit of knowledge is a life-long process and once the elders, unmindful of their age, are
convinced about this the youths will also get motivated to take to higher education in a big
way.
Gone are the days when the students of "External System," Distance Education Mode
in Indian context, were considered inferior to students passed out of regular colleges or
universities. Out University, committed to the principles of 'expansion, equity and excellence'
has taken care that candidates awarded degrees and diplomas under Distance Learning
Programme have attained the same academic standard, irrespective of the mode or place of
study. In pursuance of this approach we are engaging the same teachers, who are teaching in
the University and in its affiliated colleges, to prepare the study material, teach the contact
classes and evaluate the answer scripts. This apart, ever since the incumbent Vice-Chancellor
Professor R.T. Sabapathy Mohan assumed office, the University has been working closely
with many corporates and other agencies such as APTEC, YGen, Everonn, StrataPro to
provide quality assurance and soft skill. The academic partnership we have established with
institutions that are specializing in Animation, Fashion Designing, Hotel Management and
Yoga has helped us introduce certain new value-added courses through distance education
mode. Yet we have a long way to go like the University of London that gives the students
enrolled with the "External System" equal standing with students at the University's lead
colleges.
I congratulate you on your decision to join Manonmaniam Sundaranar University to
pursue your higher education. Teaching-Learning process is not merely for profit sharing; it
is for nation-building as well. Keeping this in mind the Study Centres across the country as
well as the Directorate of Distance Education & Continuing Education of Manonmaniam
Sundaranar University will strive together to cater to your academic needs and see that you
come out of your course with flying colours.

With best wishes,
