Government Arts College(Autonomous),Salem-7
Government Arts College, Salem, is an autonomous college in Salem, Tamil Nadu, India. It began as an Anglo-Vernacular School in 1857, founded by Alexander John Arbuthnot, later becoming a District School and then a second-grade college affiliated with the University of Madras in 1879. In 1885 it became Salem Municipal College, later shifting to its present campus near Maravaneri in 1928. It was upgraded to a first-grade college in 1944 and taken over by the Government of Madras (now Tamil Nadu) in 1960, becoming Government Arts College. The college introduced co-education in 1998-99 and a semester system in 1999-2000. It gained autonomous status in 2007, later reaccredited by NAAC with a 'B' grade in 2018, and its autonomy was extended by the UGC until 2023-24. The college offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in arts and sciences under Periyar University. Notable alumni include Tamil poets, politicians, and actors, and the college was featured in the 2023 Tamil film Maamannan.
