University Act, 2013 (Tamil Nadu Act 20 of 2013). Hon’ble Governor of Tamil Nadu is the Chancellor of
the University.
This Universtiy has, since its inception, aimed at imparting education in all fields of knowledge to
thousands of students from across the country and abroad. Located in a rural setting in coastal district of
Cuddalore in Tamil Nadu, the University has played a pivotal role in providing access to higher
education to lakhs of youth from economically and socially disadvantaged classes. In this respect, this
University’s service to the nation is tremendous.

currently known as Annamalainagar), 2 kms from the Lord Nataraja Temple.
The Rajah Muthiah Institute of Health Sciences, comprising the Rajah Muthiah Medical College, the
Rajah Muthiah Dental College and the Rani Meyyammai College of Nursing offers various UG and PG
Programmes, besides serving the rural population through its modern 1150 - bed hospital.
