The correct and constructive decision and the dedicated determination of the enthusiastic educationist ,excellent administrator and outstanding visionary our Founder Honorary Secretary APCV resulted in the starting of Post Graduate courses in V.O.Chidambaram College,  first and just to help the young graduates of the underprivileged section of the society  in the southern districts of Tamilnadu acquire their cherished Masters degree with less financial strain on their family in Tuticorin not far away from their native villages. 
The long felt need of these young graduates was met, their ever  delayed opportunity was provided and their  never realised dream came true  in 1970 by starting the Post Graduate Department of Chemistry in V.O.Chidambaram College by our Founder Honorary Secretary  with missionary zeal in spite of the great financial burden 
Under His able guidance and constant supervision and continuous encouragement  a team of young energetic and talented teachers trained in Madras, Annamalai and Madurai Universities worked hard and sincerely in building, furnishing, equipping, nourishing and developing the department and established it to be a grade one post graduate chemistry department  in the south Tamilnadu within a short  span of three  years to the full satisfaction of our Founder Honorary Secretary.
The products of this department, the highly qualified and talented post graduates were readily and easily absorbed  in various colleges including our own department to strengthen the faculty with well trained and fully equipped personnel. In addition  the department also produced many brilliant rank holders, who joined the Research Departments  in various universities and IITs for higher studies, came out successfully with flying colours in the Ph.D programmes and are occupying the highest  positions in different universities and industries  through out India and abroad
Few of our products who worked in colleges carried out research in IITs and universities under FIP to improve their knowledge and standard, got  the Ph.D., degree  and moved to high positions in universities
At a later stage when PUC was merged with  High School as Plus Two course our products were used in the Higher Secondary Schools mainly. The senior college staff were taken for the M.Phil programme in our department to expose them to the latest developments in the subject. The Research Wing of the department became active  by guiding the scholars for Ph.D., programme.
After the unfortunate, unexpected and untimely demise of our founder secretary,our current secretary, APCVC, took up the reins at an young age but with rich experience   inherited from his father, our founder secretary, and steering the ship carefully with commitment and  dedication, efficiently and tactfully overcoming all the challenges, storms and turbulences in the educational ocean.
