Driven by a vision to address Salem’s need for quality education, Dr. A. Shanmugasundaram, a renowned philanthropist and educationist, founded Vinayaka Mission’s in 1981. The institution flourished, encompassing esteemed colleges in Medicine, Engineering, Physiotherapy, Homeopathy, Nursing, Science, and Liberal Arts. This remarkable success culminated in Vinayaka Missions being recognized as a “Deemed to be University” in 2001. This prestigious status, conferred by the Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD), Government of India, on the recommendations of the UGC under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, marked a significant milestone. Vinayaka Missions subsequently transformed into Vinayaka Missions Research Foundation (VMRF), becoming India’s 48th University.
