    Good news. I wish my school supporting 203 underpriveleged kids and 40 intellectusally-challenged of which 20 are residents could be supported in Bangalore. Children from broken homes, orphans undergoing a lot of stress due to poverty , not able to pay fees, buy books are not able to study because these problems are haunting them. I wish we got a little money as support

    When billionaires like Bill Gates and others in US are donating their fortunes for charity, it is heartening to see that the Pai brothers are also doing something similar that too for a noble cause like education. They have been known for their philanthropic contributions earlier too and this gesture has further cemented this reputation. Kudos to Pai's ...once again...

    This is a good news that every responsible citizen of India shall celebrate.Particularly the politicians of India who wish to fill their everlasting money bags as if no amount is gonig to suffice their greed. I am surprised what will they do with such huge funds.This shall be the lesson for all those.When will Indians learn lesson and come out of vicious wealth collection syndrome

    Hats off to Pai brothers for the concern and love towards native district and cause.This is the huge amount so far donated by any bussiness tycoons for charity in the district.They are doing great service to the soceity which even the government does not do.I have seen Sri Dayanad Pai exhorting the community members in Kashi Mutt,Bangalore on last Sunday of every month,during Sree Sathynarayana Pooja,to inculcate good culture among childers/younger generations so that they able to lead a noble life which is really appriciating.
    His name was widely heard as a strong contender for RS seat from BJP for which elections were held recently.We lost a good chance to send this noble gentleman to RS which would have been much benificial to Karnataka at large.
