The Department of English Language and Literature was established in 2011 with a supreme vision of providing "Integrated formation to the rural students towards leadership and empowerment through Literature" with 65 students and four staff members under the headship of Rev. Sr. Dr. C. Lowrencia. As a maiden Department, its primary objectives were to introduce the learners to the art of the English language and to inculcate the values which are embedded in literature; to mould the First Generation Learners from the rural background; to create a conducive academic environment for the promotion of fruitful learning. Understanding the need of the programme in Usilampattti area and also to offer the timely opportunity especially for the girl students, the Madurai Kamaraj University permitted us to have two sections of the UG classes during the academic year 2012-2013. The girl students who studied their UG Programme have been placed as Teachers in nearby schools. The Department offers them a platform for their higher studies and placement.
