It also has many prestigious educational and medical institutions, which caters to the well-being of its members as well as the local people.
The growth of the Diocese is all because of the tireless efforts of the Bishops, Priests and the believers. There are many spiritual organizations that are functioning proactively under the diocese. The spiritual organization that has continued leading from the front is the Orthodox Christian Youth Movement.
