It all began in 1953, with the late Dr. T.M.A. Pai, a doctor, educationist, banker and philanthropist. His pioneering vision changed the face of education and healthcare in India. He transformed Manipal into a vibrant University township and a renowned Centre of Learning. Magnificent hospitals and academic institutions now carry Dr.Pai’s dreams forward. His zeal, dedication and energy were a fountain of inspiration for others, motivating them towards collective efforts. His spirit is still alive- it is the spirit of Manipal.
