The TN Higher Education Department has granted its approval to the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Department to set up four colleges and offer four programmes in each of them, from the academic year 2021-22. The colleges are to be named after Lord Shiva and Lord Murugan.

The college at Kolathur in Chennai would function from the Everwin School campus initially. The college in Thirucjhengode would function temporarily from Alpha Institute of Management campus.

A plot of private land measuring about 10,000 sq.ft. at Thoppampatti would be used on contract for the college being set up in Dindigul district and a wedding hall, under the HR&CE Department, would be used for the college in Thoothukudi district.

The HR & CE Department announced that it would set up 10 arts and science colleges across the State.
