The college started functioning in the year 1968-69. It is named after the great saint THIRUVALLUVAR. It is very close to the temple dedicated to "Lord Siva" at Papanasam (Tirunelveli District) on the banks of river Tambaraparani in sylvan surroundings contributed by the Pothigai, supposed to be the seat of St.Agasthiyar, who nurtured the Tamil language in all its varied excellence, thousands of years ago.
