To Provide Qualitative Higher Education
The Agurchand Manmull Jain College based at Meenambakkam has blossomed into a full fledged educational institution, largely due to the munificence of Padmasri Mahanmullji Chordia. The college was founded in the year 1952 by Sri S.S. Jain Education Society, inspired by Her Holiness, Sayar Kanwarji Maharaj. The college aims to provide qualitative higher education for the young men and women of the Jain community and all other communities in general.
The college located near the Meenambakkam Railway Station is blessed with a magnificent forty acre specious campus with modern class room buildings.
