A very humble, rustic lady with rural background and an unassuming attitude was how one described Smt. Velammal. when they met her for the first time. But this frail lady, with her conviction and determination inspired the society and transformed it through her devoted son, Sri. M.V.M. Muthuramalingam like Jeeja Bai influenced Chatrapati Shivaji centuries ago.

Her Philosophy was quite simple, She used to say, " You take care of the society and the society will reciprocate. You are not in isolation nor is your family. It is all a part of the society and the growth is interdependent ". Sri. M.V.M. Muthuramalingam chose to serve the society by providing education and established Velammal Educational Trust. He believed that knowledge is the core strength of the society. Velammal Institutions follows this philosophy and is serving the society in its own humble way and endeavours to be ' a perfect educator'.

Today, Velammalians are making a mark in their chosen fields all across the globe. Velammal Educational Trust, which started with an initial intake of merely 183 students in 1986, today has more than 27,500 students on its rolls. The growing strength of students has created a need for more teachers and supporting staff and the selection is being done very scrupulously. Highly professional administrative staff forms the bridge between the parents and the institution, upholding the belief of the trust in ethical practices.
