In terms of the decision of the Government of Tamil Nadu, the Ministry of Higher Education issued an order toward the conversion of University Constituent Colleges into Government Arts and Science Colleges in the year 2018-2019 under the (GO-35, dt. 28-02-2019) and from then on the Institution formerly named Bharathidasan University Constituent College – Perambalur is now recognized as Government Arts and Science College – Perambalur. 

        Government Arts and Science College – Perambalur, formerly known as Bharathidasan University Constituent College, was established in the Year 2006 with the support of the Government of Tamil Nadu (GOMs 365, Higher Education Department (G1), dt. 02-11-2006) in Perambalur to provide quality education for the students from rural background.

        The Government of Tamil Nadu had permitted to initiate the under graduation courses in Commerce, Business Administration, B.C.S. (GOMs 365, Higher Education Department (G1), dt. 02-11-2006). On the course of time the Programme B.C.S. was dropped under an inevitable circumstance. Though the College was initiated in the middle of the academic year 2006-2007, we achieved to admit 478 students in all the Courses.

        Classes including Laboratories were temporarily conducted at two rented buildings other than a government building in the perambalur town. The construction for the college had already been started in the village Kurumbalur at the cost of rupees 289 lakhs. The disbursement of building construction was supported from the financial repositories of the Government of Tamil Nadu and Member of the Parliament Fund for Rural Developments. The land of 8.5 acres was donated for the College by Andimuthu Chinnapillai Trust of Perambalur.

        The Teaching Faculty of various sections are professionally excellence and academically qualified according to the norms of University Grants Commission. 11 Members of the Faculty are working as Assistant Professors, 50 Members of the Faculty are working as Guest Lecturers on temporary basis and 26 Members of the Faculty are working on Hourly-Basis. 22 Non-Teaching Faculty have been working on temporary basis.

        However, students waiting for higher education demanded for further courses. To cater their needs, other UG Courses in B.Litt., Tamil, English, Computer Science, Computer Application, Mathematics, Microbiology and Biotechnology History, Tourism and Travel Management, Social Work were started in the academic year 2007-2008. 

        We met huge demands from both students and parents for new courses and therefore we further initiated two more UG Courses in Physics and Chemistry. Besides 14 UG Courses, 6 PG Courses such as MA Tamil, MA English, MCA, M.Com, MBA, and MSW have also been introduced. 

        Our College for a great demand of academic expertise of the contemporary period offers Doctoral Research Programmes. Eight Departments have been promoted with Research Department Grade. Many Research Scholars of various academic fields have joined Doctoral Research Programmes on both regular and part-time basis and achieved their Fellowships. The following Departments like Tamil, English, Commerce, Mathematics, Microbiology, Biotechnology Management Studies, Social Work have been recognized as Research Departments. 

        Our College is equipped with well-furnished Laboratories for the Departments of Computer Science, Microbiology, Bio-Technology, Physics, Bio-Chemistry and Chemistry. Students are regularly trained in scientific experiments as practical tryouts are parts of academic curriculum. 

        With the motto of the intellectual achievements and academic scholarships our Institution has established a College Library which is resourced with 13,000 Books, Journals and Magazines purchased and subscribed for the benefits of our Students and Teaching Faculty.

        More than 2000 Students are pursuing their education in both UG and PG Degree Programmes. The College arranges for Free Bus Pass for the transportation facility of our Students. Hostel facilities are also available for both boys and girls who hail from remote areas and therefore distance cannot be a hindrance.
