DESCRIPTION :

The Mahatma Gandhi Memorial College¸ Udupi¸ was founded in 1949 to fulfill the aspirations of the northern parts of the Dakshina Kannada District which till then could boast of only two colleges¸ both situated in Mangalore. The need for a college in this era was keenly visualized by Dr. T. Madhava A. Pai¸ whose dream was to better the life of his people by bringing opportunities to their doors. He could inspire a band of enlighted citizens of Udupi to work for the founding of a college in this town. The obstacles in the way were so severe that Dr. Pai¸ at one stage¸ had even to return the donations he had collected for the purpose of raising the funds required for the establishment of the college.
