Established in 1978, Anna University was named after Late Dr. C. N. Annadurai, former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. The legacy educational institution offers higher education in Engineering, Technology, Architecture and Applied Sciences relevant to the current and projected needs of the society. Not only does it promote research and dissemination of knowledge gained therefrom, but it also aims to bridge the gap between academia and industry.
The educational institution’s vision is to become a world class institution by shaping professionals that possess high technical knowledge, professional skills and ethical values, and act as a preferred partner to the industry and community for their economic and social development through excellence in teaching, research and consultancy.
In order to celebrate the legacy created by Anna University, the current edition of Women Entrepreneurs Review magazine shines the spotlight on alumni women leaders from the reputed institution.
