Mangaluru, March 26, 2024: Dr. M. Mohan Alva, speaking at a special event honoring distinguished individuals from South Kanara, emphasized the significance of an adventurous and sporty disposition in achieving success in life. "Since childhood, I have embodied an adventurous and sporty spirit," remarked Dr. Alva, Chairman, Alva’s Education Trust, Mudabidri, on March 26, 2024, in Mangalore.

He underscored the pivotal role of education in nurturing the youth and society at large, advocating for hostel accommodations to foster holistic development among students. Drawing from his own experience of spending two decades in hostels during his student life, Dr. Alva stressed the importance of integrating sports and cultural activities with academics, a principle upheld by his educational institution.

Maintaining a steadfast commitment to staying informed, Dr. Alva revealed his habit of reading multiple newspapers daily while eschewing social media, which he believed could compromise sincerity.

He assured the continuation of national cultural programs such as Virasat, emphasizing their importance in preserving cultural heritage.
