He further said, “The Christian missionaries have been providing the best healthcare services in Udupi and also Dakshina Kannada district with love and care. The hospital should provide health care with the motto of love and service. Today love and service both are sold out for money. Many hospitals are after making money, but the mission hospital is still running with the motto of love and service which is commendable. The management is planning to start a Medical College in Udupi the hospital currently has nearly 20 acres of land and that would meet the requirement of 20 acres land which is necessary for a medical college. As a district minister in-charge of this district, I am ready to help in getting permission at the government level, he added.

Rev Mohan Manoraj, Bishop, CSI Karnataka Southern Diocese presided over the function. Dr L C Soans Karnataka Rajyotsava Award winner Moodabidri was felicitated on the occasion.
