History

Vinayaka Missions had its inception in the year 1981 with the establishment of the Thirumuruga Kirupananda Variyar Thavathiru Sundara Swamigal (TKVTSS) Medical Educational and Charitable Trust. Not far from then, in 1982, the founder-chairman A. Shanmugasundaram instituted the Vinayaka Mission‛s College of Pharmacy in Salem, the pioneer institution of Vinayaka Missions.

In 2001 "University" status was conferred on Vinayaka Missions by the Ministry of Human Resources Development, Government of India, with the recommendations of the UGC (established under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956) as an acknowledgment of its excellence, satisfaction of the highest level of academic standards and best infrastructural facilities provided to achieve preeminence in education. By virtue of this recognition Vinayaka Missions became Vinayaka Missions University (VMU), the 48th university in India. The university's medical and dental colleges are the best in Tamil Nadu.
