Mangaluru, Jan 15: The second Unity Alumni Meet took place on Wednesday, January 15, at the IMA Hall, organized by the Unity Alumni Association.

Dr Mohammed Ismail, a senior consultant physician from Mangaluru, delivered an inspiring speech during the event. He stated, “An alumni meet is a wonderful opportunity for nostalgia, where we reunite, reignite connections, rediscover memories, and recharge ourselves. I was not proficient in any language until I began my MBBS. Back then, I was often ridiculed. I took this as a challenge and worked hard, eventually becoming fluent in English by the time I completed my MBBS. Remember, nothing is impossible. If someone puts you down or insults you, take it as a challenge to prove them wrong.”

Dr B Vasanthi S Shetty, a senior consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist from Mangaluru, highlighted the importance of lifelong learning: “Studying never stops until you die. I advise all alumni to work hard, be sincere, and you will reach wherever you wish to be.”

Devraj, general manager of operations, spoke about the progress and growth of Unity Hospital since its establishment.

Chairman Dr. C.P. Habeeb Rahman, who joined the event remotely via an online video stream, addressed the gathering and expressed his pride in the accomplishments of the institution's alumni. He highlighted how past students have made significant contributions in their respective fields, bringing honor to both themselves and the institution.
