A remarkable full-circle moment unfolded at PES University in Bengaluru as actor N. T. Rama Rao Jr. inaugurated the newly developed PES Super Speciality Block operated by KIMS Hospitals.

The occasion carried a profound historical significance. More than four decades ago, in 1983, the foundation stone for a new block at the same institution had been laid by the legendary N. T. Rama Rao. With Jr NTR now inaugurating the facility in 2026, the moment symbolically connected two generations of the same legacy at the very place where the journey had first begun.

Back in 1983, the senior NTR had visited the PES campus in Bengaluru to lay the foundation stone for the upcoming block, marking a major milestone in the institution’s infrastructure expansion.

His visit at the time reflected his encouragement for institutions that focused not only on education but also on social responsibility and community development. Over the decades, PES grew into one of Bengaluru’s leading educational institutions, steadily expanding its facilities and initiatives to serve both students and the wider community.

The newly developed Super Speciality Block now stands as a modern continuation of that early vision.

With Jr NTR inaugurating the facility in 2026, the occasion turned into a moving tribute to legacy, continuity and public service. The event highlighted how a vision started decades ago continues to evolve and impact communities today.

Operated by KIMS Hospitals, the Super Speciality Block is expected to significantly improve access to advanced healthcare services in Bengaluru.

Equipped with modern infrastructure and specialised medical care facilities, the centre aims to provide better treatment options and improved healthcare access for patients in the region.

For many who attended the ceremony, the moment represented far more than the opening of a medical facility.
