I extend my heartfelt thanks to my journalist colleagues for giving me the opportunity to serve as the President of the Dakshina Kannada District Working Journalists’ Association for two consecutive terms — from August 4, 2018, to November 7, 2025.

During our tenure, we have given special emphasis to the health and welfare of journalists. A Media Health Club was established at the Press Club in association with A.J. Institute of Medical Sciences, offering free health check-ups for journalists and their family members. Health cards under Kshema and Manipal Health Scheme have also been distributed to members.

A Journalists’ Welfare Fund was launched, and health insurance coverage worth ₹10 lakh was provided to association members over the past two years.
