Co-educational College: Chennai’s 184-year-old Pachaiyappa’s College, one of India’s oldest higher education institutions, has now become a co-educational institution. This decision is being hailed as a historic shift. According to the college principal, Dr. Baby Gulnaz, the Tamil Nadu government approved this change through a Government Order (G.O. No. 100) issued on June 15. Now, both male and female students will be able to study together at the college.
Established in 1842, the institution has long stood as a symbol of academic excellence and social responsibility.
