Mangalore, Nov 20: The foundation laying ceremony for the Canara CBSE School, was held at T V Raman Pai Convention Centre on Wednesday November 19. It also marks the 118th birth anniversary of founder Ammembala Subba Rao
Addressing the gathering, chief guest Dayanand Pai, philanthropist and alumnus, said that Ammembala Subba Rao uplifted the entire Gowda Saraswat Brahmin community with the Canara group of institutions. Providing universal education is the only solution to the poverty in the world, Pai added.
Expressing anger at politicians, he said they never see the future of the nation and use social evils as stepping stones to gain power. He emphasized, ‘We must introduce English education to the children but not English culture. We should not allow an alien culture to grab the space of Indian culture in the institutions’.

Madhava Bhandary, president, Mangalore Urban Development Authority, Vimala Pai, Mohandas Nayak, and Ganesh Rao were present.
