With the unwavering and magnanimous assistance of Sri.M.S.Chockalingam, this seed grew quickly and blossomed into a magnificent tree. With its rich academic standards, he transformed the institution into a forerunner in technical education, and it is now celebrated as the most respected institution in the country, with 50000+ Alumni occupying top ranks in various multinational forums.
His strong desire to provide higher education resulted in the establishment of the "Sona College of Technology" in 1997.
