Born on April 6, 1909 in Kottaiyur, Dr. Alagappa Chettiar was a visionary industrialist and philanthropist who believed that "education is an absolute must for a human being to become productive, wholesome and humane."
Knighted at 37, he renounced the title upon Indian independence and dedicated his life to building educational institutions that transformed Karaikudi from scrub jungle into an educational hub.
"Dr. Alagappa Chettiar has given away freely. Students should develop that quality — namely giving money earned for charity."
— Sir C. Rajagopalachari
