Karnataka Bank, as part of its corporate social responsibility initiative, has sponsored 50 Electrocardiography Machines (ECG) worth ₹11.50 lakh to needy gram panchayats and their affiliated sub-centres in Udupi district.
The initiative implemented in association with the Cardiology at Door Steps Foundation Trust, Mangaluru, will help in providing better diagnostic services related to early detection of heart diseases.
Mangaging Director and Chief Executive Officer of the bank Mahabaleshwara M.S. handed over the first lot of 10 units of ECG machines to the Managing Trustee of the trust and senior cardiologist Padmanabha Kamath at the bank’s head office here on Saturday.

“Walk for Equality was aimed at creating a movement to crush the forces attempting to divide the people along religious line, said Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) leader Vaiko. Concluding his 140-kilometre ‘Samathuva nadai payanam’ from Tiruchi to Madurai on Monday, Mr. Vaiko said, “The Hindutva forces are actively attempting to drive a wedge between communities through various incidents, most notably the Thirupparankundram deepam controversy, using identity-based politics to achieve their divisive motives.”
