Manonmaniam Sundaranar University is a dynamic institution of higher learning, set in a rural milieu of southern Tamil Nadu, with a campus spread of 550 acres. The University was established by the Government of Tamil Nadu as a teaching-cum-affiliating University on 7th September 1990 to cater to the long-felt needs of the people of the four southernmost districts of Tamil Nadu, viz., Tirunelveli, Tenkasi, Tuticorin, and Kanyakumari.

It is named after the renowned Tamil Poet and scholar, Professor P. Sundaram Pillai (1855-1897), the author of the famous verse drama Manonmaniam. It is his poem that has become “Tamil Thaai Vazhthu,” the official invocation song sung at all functions in Tamilnadu.
