The Mission and Vision of philanthropic Agarwal Community of Chennai for providing "higher education for needy" led to the starting of the college. "Agarwal Relief and Educational Trust" purchased 8 acres of land surrounded by mango groves at Madhavaram, on the periphery of the city to establish and manage an Arts and Science College. Consequently the Government of Tamilnadu has granted permission to start the college as per G.O.No.280 dated 6.7.2000. The non-profit motive Self-financing Co-educational Institution was started during 2000-2001 with three courses : i) B.Com. ii) B.C.A. iii) B.Sc.(Comp.Sci.) at the temporary site Shri Narmathadevi J. Agarwal Vivekananda Vidyalaya, M.K.B. Nagar, Vyasarpadi and University of Madras granted affiliation for these courses as per Registrar's letter No.A1(GT)2000-2001/2. 164 dated 6-8-2000.

The permanent building was built within a short span of eight months at Madhavaram with all infrastructural facilities with spacious class hall, fully air-conditioned and well furnished Computer Laboratory, well equipped Library, playground, etc. The College is established in an idyllic location away from the buzzle and dim of city but within the bounds of Chennai Metropolis. The establishment of the college in this locality fulfills the need of the people of this area and surrounding localities.

At a colourful ceremony, Kanchi Pontiff Shri Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal inaugurated the college building by lighting the Kuthuvilakku and offered blessings for the growth of the institution. An idol of 'Sri Varadha Vinayagar' has been installed at the Mandabam in the main entrance of the building and a temple of Shiva is being built in the campus, so that our students would have the provisions for worshiping and learning in the same place which are the basic requisites for the developement of personality of students.
