Visit SiteSri Sankara Health Center OP Clinic continued to operate as a outpatient facility with very limited patients beds from a shed built on the land where the new building was to come up. In order to facilitate the construction, Sri. S. Viswanathan offered his house in Pammal and it is from here that the Health Center continued to operate from 1998 until the new 30-bed Hospital building was ready for occupation in 2001. The construction of the new building costing Rs.50 lakhs had its share of challenges. With Nethralaya moving out unexpectedly and our having to return their security deposit, the project faced difficulty. At this stage Sri Visvanathan suggested that we name the Hospital after the donor who donates at least 50% of the cost. Rtn BP Jain came forward and donated the amount, thus the Hospital was named as BP Jain Hospital. The new Hospital was dedicated to the public by HH Sri Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal on Sunday, 10" June, 2001. The Chief Guest on the occasion was Sri NK Jain, Chief Justice of Madras High Court accompanied by Justice Sri Balasubramanian and Rotary Governor.
