Shrimati Indira Gandhi College has been creating history since 1984 by standing with women for their right to education and empowerment. In the last three decades, the college has transformed into a respected institution for women across all backgrounds.

One of the most powerful voices of the world in the 20th century was Mahatma Gandhi. In the year 1934, while the campus was part of the former National College Council, Mahatma Gandhi visited and interacted with the staff and students. The tree under which he sat is still alive and thriving today. It is a sight of awe for all our visitors, especially our new students. Beyond being a landmark of the college, the tree serves as a symbol of strength and wisdom for our women. They are proud of its presence in their learning atmosphere and derive great amount of inspiration from it.

Shrimathi Indira Gandhi College is considered as the hub of culture and evolution by people in Trichy and beyond. Today we have around 4000 students coming to study with us from all over Tamilnadu and many more States.

SIGC enables them to discover their capabilities and become strong, responsible, creative, and prepared to lead and serve their society.

We have initiated scholarships for deserving students, as the first step towards higher education could be challenging for many aspiring young women.

Our management, staff, students and alumnae in a collaborative spirit take the institution to the next level.
