The college was founded by a society deeply attached to Hindu religion and thought. It will, therefore, be the endeavour of the management to maintain an atmosphere of devotion to this religion in the campus even while inculcating in the wards, love and respect for other religions. The college derives its inspiration from Hindu philosophy, literature and culture. The bedrock of our actions shall be the tenets of Vaishnavism as enunciated in the famous song Vaishnav Janatho of Narsinh Mehta. Under the auspices of Shri Vallabhacharya Vidya Sabha and by the blessings of His Holiness 108 Goswami Shri Mathureshwarji Mahoday, Shri Jumna Doss and Shri Amichand Doss established the college to perpetuate the memory of their father Shri Dwaraka Doss Goverdhan Doss. With a humble beginning as an undergraduate college in 1964, it grew into a multidisciplinary centre of learning. To provide educational opportunities to the working class, the college started evening courses (1971) and distance learning programmes of IGNOU (1992). Today, the college is one of the reputed educational institutions in the metropolis of Chennai. The college is affiliated to the University of Madras.
