Sona College of Technology (SCT), Salem was established in 1997. The college is affiliated to Anna University, Coimbatore.

The Sona Group is steeped in more than 100 years of success and tradition tracing back to pre-Independence. The group was founded by the doyen of textile industries of the early twentieth century, Karumuttu Thaigarajar Chettiar. He oozed passion and patriotism for his motherland and fought for Her freedom along with other great freedom fighters of this nation. Karumuttu Thiagarajar Chettiar’s prominence is etched in the tapestry of our nation by the role he played in the transformation of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi to Gandhiji, The Father of our Nation. This defining moment played out in 1938, within the walls of Karumuttu Thiagarajar Chettiar’s home when Gandhiji visited Madurai. Gandhiji wore his trademark Loin cloth, vowing not to wear a shirt every again after seeing daily wage workers who could not afford one.
