The memorial has been built on 12 acres at the entry point of Virudhunagar on Madurai-Tirunelveli National Highway, an official release said.
Kamaraj, credited with revolutionising education in the state by ushering in the popular mid-day meal scheme to attract children to schools, hailed from Virudhunagar.
