INTRODUCTION

The 14th day of July 1967 marked a significant and initial landmark in the progress of higher education in Karaikal region of the Union territory of Pondicherry when the Modern College affiliated to the University of Madras was inaugurated by His Excellency Thiru S.L.Silam the then Lieutenant-Governor of Pondicherry. It is an important mile-stone in as much as it was the culmination of the efforts of the elite and public of Karaikal as well as the Government of Pondicherry to fulfil a long-felt need of the people in the area to have an institution to impart higher education to their off-spring.
