 Message from the Principal

Prof. (Dr.) Nirmala Kumari, B.Com., M.A., LL.M. Ph.D.

“What is knowledge? It is to know, what to do, when to do and how to do.

Knowledge enables us to do the right thing at the right moment.”
Padmashree Dr. T M A Pai

Our founder, Dr. T M A Pai took on several roles like doctor, educationalist, and philanthropist, challenged the economic and
social barriers to bring about a change in the Indian banking sector, and the society as a result. Apart from improving the economic
status of Udupi, a quaint city in Karnataka, his dream was to develop the city an educational hub. Our college is one among the 42
