Welcome to MR Government Arts College


The rural and underprivileged people of Mannargudi region found it difficult to pursue higher education as there was no college in this area. So, a few good people whoe were interested in social welfare decided to found a college in Mannargudi. Many philanthropists of this area helped establish a college and thereby educate the youth of this rural and underdeveloped area.
