He started Alva’s Pharmacy in 1982 to produce the necessary medicines. The clinic was upgraded from time to time responding to the need of the hour and Alva’s Health Center, a full-fledged multi speciality hospital came into existence in 1986. After finding the solutions for the health needs, Dr.

Alva diverted his attention to the idea of serving the society. He realized the need for creating job opportunities for the rural youth. He started the Paramedical courses to support the health needs and to help the youth to find jobs very easily.
