About the College:

“The only service to be given is to give…. that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded and by which one can stand on one’s own leg”. So goes the emphatic message of Swami Vivekananda. Inspired by this ideal, Swami Chidbhavananda, the great saint, seer and savant, widely known for the power and depth of his spirituality, founded SriRamakrishna Tapovanam, Thirupparaithurai, Trichy.

            Among the seven colleges run by Sri Ramakrishna Tapovanam, Sri Sarada College for Women, Tirunelveli was started in 1986 to cater to the educational needs of the women of the southern districts of the Tamilnadu. The college was started with 60 Students in 3 U.G Courses. Now the college has grown to students’ strength of 1337 with 10 UG Courses and 3 PG Courses.

            Our College is accredited “B Grade” - CGPA 2.76 out of 4 by NAAC. Our college is publishing “Pragnavani”, the Multi Disciplinary Research Journal with ISSN No 2249 – 6017.
