The Sarah Tucker College is an institution in Palayamkottai, a town in Tirunelveli District in the southern state of Tamil Nadu in India.
It is the first college for women in south India, owing its origin to Sarah Tucker of England and her friends, who raised money for the founding of a small school for training teachers for elementary schools in Tirunelveli District.
It is named after Sarah Tucker, a physically challenged woman confined to her room in England.
She was moved by the reports of the appalling condition of the women in this region due to their illiteracy and stepped in to provide education for them.
The college, functioning under the Tirunelveli Diocesan Association (TDTA), is now an autonomous institution under the Manonmaniam Sundaranar University since 2007.
