Arul Anandar College Boys Hostel had a very humble beginning with limited space and resources in 1970 along with the dreams and hopes of the college. It has been serving mainly the rural students for 47 years. And today it has zoomed and boomed into this structure with strength of 600 students from Madurai, Dindigul, Sivaganga, Ramnad, Viruthunagar, Kovilpatty, Srivalliputhur, Thirunelveli, Nagarcoil, Salem and Chennai. From its rural setting, AAC aims to offer educational opportunities for the weaker sections of society‚ particularly the students who hail from a rural set up.
Arul Anandar College Hostel (AACH) is run successfully by the Jesuit Management for the benefit of the rural students from various walks of life. It subscribes to the morals and objectives namely work, justice and love´ stands for hard work, passion for truth and justice by which the institution pioneers to bring about social transformation in the rural neighbourhood through its ideal of enlightened service flowing from the humanity of Jesus Christ.
