The campus's rocky subsurface formation is an extension of the Sirumalai mountain, on whose foothills GRI is located. GRI's campus includes a number of historic sites and monuments.

Ramachandran, the University's Founder and Vice-Chancellor. It has a computerized circulation service and an OPAC to assess the availability of documents (books, etc.).
