History

Parameshwara College was founded by the veteran philanthropist Sir.Ponampalam Ramanathan in August 1921.

His monumental contribution to education has been the establishment of two Schools, the Ramanathan College for girls established at Chunnakam in 1913, and Parameshwara College for boys, eight years later. The latter has since become the Jaffna University Campus
