Building a Legacy of Academic Excellence

Dr. T.M.A. Pai laid the foundation of the Manipal Group in 1953 with the establishment of Kasturba Medical College in Manipal, Karnataka. This was just a stepping stone that paved the way for several other leading educational institutions that rewrote the legacy of academic excellence.
