About the Manna Group of Ministries
Founded in 1966, the Manna Group of Ministries has been reaching communities with the compassionate love of God through spiritual outreach, education, medical assistance, relief work, and community development programs. The ministry is built upon two foundational principles: to love God and to love and serve humanity without discrimination.
Through his leadership across educational and ministry platforms, he guided schools and organizations with wisdom, compassion, and foresight. His vision extended beyond classroom success — he believed education should prepare students for life, shaping them into ethical, responsible, and service-oriented citizens.
His philosophy emphasized discipline, academic excellence, moral uprightness, social responsibility, and leadership through service — principles that continue to define Vitala Public School today.
