of the people and another major occupation of the people is artificial gem cutting.
Considering the importance of a College of Education to cater the needs of the poor
people of the locality and also for urban poor, Shri. R. Chinnathambi started
Mother Teresa College of Education at Mettusalai, Illupur (Tk), Pudukkottai (Dt.)
in the year 2005. It's involvement is not an exaggeration to say that Shri. R. Chinnathambi,
who is deeply engrossed and assimilated with the thoughts and ideologies of Mother
Teresa, who was a great saint and also a great humanist and Nobel Laureate, christened
the institution after her name.
India, being a poor country, and most of the students in Indian schools are poor,
the institution felt that only teachers from poor economic background stand to feel
the exact aspirations of the poor students and thus, emerged as a great this institution
which aims to give opportunities to the poor students of rural and urban to achieve
the excellence in learning . Apart from promoting the poor students to achieve excellence
in teaching, Mother Teresa College of Education is aiming at imparting and sustaining
the human values in their students who would make a society to lead a harmonious
life. This college is affiliated to Tamil Nadu Teachers Education University, Chennai.
NCTE has accorded permission to run M.Ed., course from 2006-2007 academic year onwards.
