Overview

About Vinayaka Missions Annapoorana College of Nursing Salem

Vinayaka Mission's Annapoorana College of Nursing is a nursing college in Salem, Tamil Nadu, established in 1991. It is affiliated to Vinayaka Mission's Research Foundation (Deemed to be University). Vinayaka Mission's Annapoorana College of Nursing offers 7 programmes, 1 at undergraduate level and 5 at postgraduate level. These include B.Sc. Nursing, M.Sc. (N) Medical Surgical Nursing, M.Sc. (N) Obstetrics & Gynaecology Nursing, M.Sc. (N) Child Health (Paediatric) Nursing and M.Sc. (N) Mental Health (Psychiatric) Nursing, among others. The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 120 seats. Official sources identify this exact institution as Vinayaka Mission's Annapoorana College of Nursing, Salem (VMACON), established in 1991 and a constituent college of VMRF (Deemed to be University) since 2001; older pages mention its former affiliation with Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University. The official 2026-27 B.Sc. Nursing notice states 100 seats, annual tuition of ₹2,10,000, 45% PCB eligibility for general candidates and 40% for SC/ST/OBC, and selection through the VMRF-DU All India Entrance Examination and counselling. A current official grievance page names Dr. K. Kamala as Principal; an older anti-ragging page names Dr. K. Maheswari, so the older name was not used. No separate official source located in this pass states attendance, academic examination pattern, faculty PhD counts, or college-specific funded-project totals/patents. The college was established by the Thirumuruga Kirupananda Variyar Thavathiru Sundara Swamigal (TKVTSS) Medical Educational and Charitable Trust in 1991, initially affiliated with The Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University, and became part of VMRF(DU) in 2001. Official 2026-27 admissions documents list the college as a constituent college and give B.Sc. Nursing, M.Sc. Nursing and Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing admissions. The 5.92-acre figure is from the university NAAC self-study report; no college-specific NAAC grade was assigned.
