The establishment of MSE was widely welcomed as an important
initiative in the field of higher education and the MSE has received
moral and material support from the government sector, corporate
sector and a number of financial institutions across the country.
The Government of Tamil Nadu generously provided land in a prime
area in the city of Chennai on long term lease at a confessional
rate. The Ministry of Finance, Government of India, sanctioned a
capital grant of Rs. 3 crore for the establishment, construction and
maintenance of MSE.
Contributions to our corpus have been made by several leading Indian
companies and financial institutions. Some have made contributions
to the general corpus while others have made contributions towards
the construction of the library and the hostel.
