The Vidyalaya had a humble beginning as a school with a single student in 1930. The foundation stone was laid by Mahatma Gandhi on 7 February 1934, and the institution was affiliated with the Ramakrishna Mission in January 1935.
On 26th August 1956, the school was officially inaugurated by Sri M Bhakthavatsalam, Minister of Industries and Agriculture, Government of Madras. Participation in community work within and outside the campus was considered one of the Vidyalaya ideals. Students and the members of the staff were made to participate in maintaining the classrooms, hostel rooms, and the campus neat and clean all by themselves as far as possible.
The college is affiliated with the university of Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Educational and Research Institute and is Approved by All India Council for Technical Education.
The college courses are offered under diploma programs (Diploma in Information Technology.)
