Formation of Karuna Kiran Foundation
A noble initiative was taken by some of the renowned doctors from Mangalore who initiated to serve the Lady Goshen Maternity Hospital which majorly serves below the poverty line women in labor. It was found out that there is an immediate need to assist these women in terms of arranging the blood, medicines and antibiotics on an emergency basis. To facilitate this program and for quick action, a new Charitable Trust has been formed by name Karuna Kiran Foundation with Dr. Shrinivas Kakkilaya being the Managing Trustee, Dr. Ravichandran being one of the Trustees along with a few other like minded noble doctors. Under this initiative, a certain amount will be transferred on a monthly basis to the Karuna Kiran Foundation which will be utilized by the duty doctors at the Lady Goshen Maternity Hospital  without having to wait for any prior approval so that the lives of the mother and child is saved. Under Karuna Kiran Foundation , another program is initiated wherein quality food is served to the malnourished children who dwell in the slums.
