Bharathidasan Government College for Women, in the name of the great poet of this soil, was ushered into being in the beginning of the Academic Year 1968-1969. During the span of this 55 years the college has witnessed a phenomenal growth both qualitatively and quantitatively. It caters to the needs of women students by offering a wide range of Science, Arts and Commerce courses (i.e.) 14 Under-Graduate, and one Ph.D. Programme.
