About Us

Tapasya is a Sanskrit word implying a sincere and profound effort at meditation, austerity, and self-discipline towards attaining self-realization. Tapasya Foundation, Mangalore was formed as a Public Charitable Trust to serve all needy people irrespective of caste, creed, religion, sex or colour.

Our vision has manifested into the mission of providing holistic medical care aimed at optimizing quality of life and mitigating suffering of people with serious complex illness.

Palliative & Hospice Care Project

As our priority initiative, we are driven by the unflinching commitment to provide Paediatric Palliative & Hospice care along with rehabilitation of children from poor and deprived sections of the society. This will include free accommodation, food, recreational facilities, and other critical elements that define quality of life.

Over time, we intend to establish a model centre aimed at raising the benchmark for palliative and hospice care in developing countries. We have embarked on this project as it is the need of the hour in the chosen location. We have already acquired 2.65 acres of land opposite Mithakodi Bus stop near Infosys at Mudipu. The Bhoomi Pooja Ceremony was done on 29-06-2020.

Children suffering from cancer have to undergo a series of treatments and medications which call for enormous funds of recurring nature. Hence, the start-up cost of the palliative care project is around Rs. seven crores with an annual recurring expenses of Rs. one crore.
