Welcome to St. Ann's College of Arts and Science
Rev. Fr. Thomas Gavan Duffy (popularly known as TGD), an Irish MEP Missionary served at Tindivanam from 1920 to 1941. With his missionary experience, he rightly understood that, of all the revolutionary forces, ‘Education’ is the greatest. St. Ann’s Primary School was the spring board to achieve his vision as an educationist and a missionary.
He put his heart and soul for the growth of St. Ann’s School, R.C. Teacher Training Institute, the Model School and the Catechist Training Centre under one umbrella called Catholic Centre. He was the greatest pioneer and transformer for the educational system in the then province of Madras. In his opinion, “The school would be a necessary instrument of virtue and character and an essential pre requisite to the success of any scheme for the betterment of people.” He continued that “schooling where discipline, alertness and leadership are to be embedded in the bone and marrow of the students. ”
