The Late M.K. Ananthraj Memorial Indoor Stadium, comprising a swimming pool, badminton court and Kabaddi court, at the Alva’s Education Society campus was inaugurated by Moodbidri MLA K. Umanath Kotian, Alva’s Foundation Chairman M. Mohan Alva and others on Wednesday, at Moodibidri.
Recalling the contributions of the late Ananthraj, Dr. Alva said though his son K. Abhayachandra Jain had been the Sports Minister, he did not name any sports infrastructure after his father. That was his commitment to the sports field, he said.
Mr. Kotian said Dr. Alva has made Moodbidri, the Jain Kashi, also as Shikshana (education), Samskruthka (cultural) and Kreeda (sports) Kashi. Offering education along with nurturing talents, he took Moodbidri across the globe.
