An initiative taken to honour this great educationist and humanist on his birth centenary in 2004 resulted in the Kuruvilla Jacob Initiative for Promoting Excellence in School Education. Till date 2900 teachers have participated in this initiative since its foundation in August 2004.

All his students who are today well known industrialists/citizens of Chennai remembered Kuruvila Jacob fondly and echoed in a same tone that some of his values and ideas were far ahead of his time and are more relevant today and that we have a sense of satisfaction that the program has reached around 3,000 educators and we have been able to take Mr. Jacob’s legacy forward.

Chennai’s Madras Medical Mission Saves 13-Year-Old Boy with Life-Saving Heart Transplant

-
Image
Chennai, 15 October 2025: A 13-year-old boy from an economically disadvantaged background made a remarkable recovery at Madras Medical Mission (MMM) Hospital, Chennai, after facing life-threatening complications from a chronic heart condition. His condition rapidly worsened, leading to a dramatic drop in heart function, unresponsive blood pressure, kidney failure requiring dialysis, and liver congestion. A heart transplant became the only viable option. With his father working as a driver and unable to afford the high cost, financial support was arranged through MMM’s Social Works Department and a major Trust. Just as doctors considered temporary cardiac support, a donor heart from a young adult became available through TRANSTAN, far sooner than expected. The match was excellent, and the transplant was scheduled immediately. Moments before surgery, the boy suffered cardiac arrest, but was successfully resuscitated, allowing the transplant to proceed. Post-surgery, his kidneys resumed f...
