Encyclopedia
Thiru.M.A.M. Ramaswamy, a politician from Janata Dal (Secular) party
, is a Member of the Parliament of India
representing Karnataka
in the Rajya Sabha
. He is the Co-Founder & Present Chairman of Chettinad Group of Companies. He is also the Pro-Chancellor for Annamalai University
, a prominent industrialist and winner of 500 horse racing classics.
Dr. MAM Ramaswamy has been a great living legend in developing the Annamalai University after his father Sir Rajah Muthiah and his grandfather Sir Annamalai Chettiar. He is the current Pro-Chancellor of Annamalai university. The present Pro Chancellor Dr. M.A.M. Ramaswamy was nominated by the Chancellor to succeed his father as Founder Pro-Chancellor of the University. With the insight of a skilled entrepreneur, the organisational capability of an executive, the versatility of a venturesome industrialist, and the qualities of leadership and organization, he has continued to show the same care and guidance for the growth and development of the University with a sense of devotion and commitment.
The University which started with only seven departments in 1929 has, over the last 75 years, developed into a mighty institution of higher learning with nearly 48 Departments, in all 9 Faculties. This is one of the very few institutions in India with all the Faculties located in the same campus. The University can be proud of a well equipped Central Library and Laboratories providing very good facilities for taking up research projects, for Ph.D. and Post-Doctoral work. Several Research Projects have been undertaken by various Faculties funded by several agencies including the State and Central Governments. A close interaction has been developed between the institution and the neighbouring industries for promotion of research and training programmes.
Dr.M.A.M. Ramaswamy(herein will be referred as MAM) is a true sports enthusiast though his energies have been mostly concentrated on racing. He was the President of the Indian Hockey Federation and during his stewardship, India won its first and last World Cup hockey championship. Indian sport is poorer because his obsessive indulgence has not spread to other sports. One thing is sure: Come what may, MAM will never be tired of horse racing. Such is his zeal and passion for this sport, which has seen him earn the unique distinction of winning more than 320 classics, a feat that is unlikely to be bettered in a hurry.
