In the early 1920s to promote Tamil Literature, Rajah Sir S. R. M. Annamalai Chettiar founded Sri Minakshi College, Sri Minakshi Tamil College and Sri Minakshi Sanskrit College in a rural setup at Chidambaram. In 1928, Rajah Sir S. R. M. Annamalai Chettiar agreed with the local Government to handover the above said institution for establishing a university. Thus, on January 1, 1929 Annamalai University was established as per Annamalai University Act 1928 (Tamil Nadu Act 1 of 1929). In 2013, the Annamalai University Act, 2013 (Tamil Nadu Act 20 of 2013), was passed and has come into force from September 25, 2013. The emblem of the university has a shield divided into six parts holding elephants, lotus, veena, coconut palm and a south indian temple in cyan, pink and orange. Below the shield its motto ‘With Courage and Faith’ is written on a red banner. The shield symbolises protection, courage, heritage, authority and bravery; the lotus denotes purity, enlightenment, rebirth, transformation, personal growth, resilience, overcoming obstacles and divine beauty; elephants represent harmony, success and protection; the coconut palm is the ‘tree of life’ which keeps giving something to society all through its life; a veena symbolises art, culture, education, knowledge and wisdom and the temple with gopuram denotes god’s grace and the land of Tamilnadu.
