Arivu College of Paramedical Science,Tirunelveli was started by “M.I.ABDUL GAFOOR EDUCATIONAL AND CHARITABLE TRUST” which was registered in the year 2018 under Tamil Nadu Trust Registration Act. The trust is providing aged care services, particularly running homes for the aged. There was a growing trend of abandoning aged parents in old age homes due to multiple reasons, and the Trust was started to address this issue.

The founders of Arivu College of Paramedical Science, Approved by Govt. of Tamilnadu G.O. (MS) No.396/2018 have vast experience in community and Educational development activities and have very good rapport with downtrodden communities for years. According to the World Health Organization’s recommendations, one doctor requires at least 8 support health personnel and this means that India needs more than 12 lakhs doctors and about 96 lakhs support staff. In addition, the strength of support personnel is also inadequate and developing use of technology in the field of medicine has resulted in a number of specializations.

Hence there is a growing demand for trained personnel in the field of medicine. At the same time there is growing number of unemployment in the country which affects the rural youth much. Arivu College of Paramedical Science was started to caters these pressing needs. Well qualified faculty members are an additional plus, which we feel will definitely enhance the credibility of the college. Though started with the Health Inspector / Sanitary Inspector Training Course, in future the college will cover all subjects related to medicine.
