Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 10 (IANS): Middle East-settled non-resident Indian industrialist B.R. Shetty Friday announced plans to start an ayurveda medical college at the upcoming Herbal City in Abu Dhabi in the UAE in collaboration with Santhigiri Ashram in Kerala.

    Mr. B.R. Shetty - It is indeed a great idea to commence a Ayurvedy Medical College in Dubai. I wish this venture every success. Of course you SPELL SUCCESS wherever you go and whatever you do. I had the pleasure of meeting your two nephews (sons of B.S. Shetty) last evening at a party. These charming young men - one a Doctor and the other one an engineer have great qualities of Heart and Mind and I am sure that they will enhance the good name of the family.

    My good wishes are with you and the clan.
