In 1953, he set up Kasturba Medical College,
the first private medical college in the voluntary sector. And, with
that began the story of Manipal University. Then, in 1957 came the
engineering college, the dental college, pharmacy college and so on and
so forth. Initially, these institutes were affiliated to different
universities.
Dr TMA Pai passed on the baton of leadership to his son, Dr Ramdas M Paiwho is the present President and Chancellor of the University.
Located on the west coast of South India, Manipal was a barren wasteland, a plateau with wild animals. It was this plateau that Dr TMA Pai decided
to change. His vision for Manipal covered a wide spectrum of interests
because he himself donned many hats. He was a physician, an
educationist, a banker and above all, a philanthropist at heart.
