The benefit of education, let alone higher education, was a distant dream for the poor people of Virudhunagar region until the nineteen forties. It was in the backdrop that the philanthropic and munificent members of the merchant community of this town were longing for a college of their own. In June, 1947, the idea of establishing a college in Virudhunagar was mooted at Nadar Mahajana Sangam meet held at Kovilpatti.
Rao Bahadur M.S.P.Senthikumara Nadar who was present on the dais at that moment made on the spot announcement to donate a hefty sum of Rupees Two lakhs to start a college in Virudhunagar. Right away, a committee was constituted to expedite the launching of a college. Thiru P.S.Chidambara Nadar, Thiru V.V.Ramasamy Nadar and Thiru M.S.Periasamy Nadar were its members. This committee resolved unanimously to start a college immediately naming it after the donor. Thiru M.S.Periasamy Nadar was gracious enough to donate and acquire one hundred and fifty acres of land on the Aruppukottai road for the college. On 11th of August, 1947, Virudhunagar Senthikumara Nadar College was brought into being. To run the new institution, a small committee was formed with Mr.W.P.A.Soundra pandian Nadar as President, Mr.P.S.Chidambara Nadar as Vice - President, Mr. V.V.Ramasamy as Secretary and Correspondent and Mr.M.S.Periasamy Nadar as Treasurer.
Rao Bahadur Senthikumara Nadar was appointed the Patron of the college. In 1948, the Hindu Nadar Mahamai Tharappu took over the administration of the college. The successive Managing Boards of this college consisted of solid and simple men who were successful business magnates in their respective enterprises. They nurtured the nascent institution. Under their benevolent patronage, the college registered a phenomenal development, blossoming into a Post-Graduate Institution in 1967. Today, after 76 years of its inception, VHNSN College has grown from strength to strength, scaling new heights and crossing many a milestone on the academic road.
Even a casual glance at the campus of this college will speak volumes for its multidimensional development. The sprawling campus dotted with lush green trees, the imposing and massive buildings, the sophisticated infrastructure with the state of art technology, the computerized and well - stocked library, the committed and competent team of staff and the enlightened management has collectively transformed this great institution into a towering colossus, standing astride and the pinnacle of academic excellence.
