A
post graduate in English Literature, called to the Bar, Middle Temple ,
England in 1933, Dr. Alagappa Chettiar took to Business in India , in his
own style, spanning textiles to airways.
Dr. Alagappa Chettiar founded several academic institutions in the course of his "Academic adventure" as Rajaji aptly described. Dr. Alagappa Chettiar was instrumental for establishing Central Electro Chemical Research Institute, one of the premier Research Organisations under CSIR, at Karaikudi He donated 300 acres of land and 15 lakhs of Rupees for this purpose. This gesture, earned for him the title of 'Socialistic Capitalist' from Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. No
single individual has done so much for education and that too in such a
varied fashion as Dr.Alagappa Chettiar. It was this facet of his achievement
that made Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Babu Rajendra Prasad, Rajaji and many
stalwarts visit him when his health suffered a set back. The list of eminent
persons who had visited Alagappa Institutions from time to time reads like
a "Who's Who" - Rajaji, Sriprakasa, C. Subramaniam, Sardar K.M. Panicker,
Dr. C.R. Reddy, Thiru.K.Kamaraj, Dr. Sir C.V. Raman …… Mrs. Indira Gandhi
graced the silver jubilee celebrations of Alagappa College.
