Varamballi gram panchayat president S Narayan presided over the programme.

MLA Raghupati Bhat and Udupi Builders Association president Jerry Vincent Dias were the chief guests.

Jerry Vincent Dias in his address said that due to scarcity of land and space flat system started. "As time passed, our needs and necessities were made available under one roof called the 'super market', now we have gone a step further and started shopping centres. Earlier, people of the coastal belt had to go to Dubai, Mumbai, Bangalore and other big cities to experience shopping in super markets and malls. But in recent years the trend is changing with good malls being set up in Mangalore, and in Udupi. This shows Brahmavar is one of the fastest growing places in Udupi district," he said.
