Deeply saddened to know about the devastating floods in Nepal, which have caused the loss of many precious lives and immense suffering.

My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families. Prayers for the safety of all those who are still missing and for the speedy recovery of the injured.

My lovable KISSians came together and cheered her on, sending their prayers, love and best wishes to Ms Nikita Porwal, Miss World India, who is presently in Vietnam representing our country at the ongoing 75th Anniversary Edition of Miss World.

Nikita has a special connection with KISS. She spent time with our children, understood their lives closely and carried their story with her to the world stage.

Today, these tribal children have only one wish for her —do your best and bring the crown home for India.

Remembering Mother Teresa on her birth anniversary. Her entire life was devoted to serving the poor, the sick and those who needed love and care the most. Her message of compassion and selfless service will always remain meaningful for humanity.

Today is a very happy and emotional day for me as KISS Deemed to be University celebrates its 9th Foundation Day. What started as a small school for tribal children has today grown into a complete journey of education — from school to college and university, all under one roof. KISS-DU is the world’s first university exclusively for tribal students, providing fully free residential education.

The greatest satisfaction for me is to see thousands of our tribal students graduating from KISS, building their careers and becoming well established in life. This was always my dream — that poverty should never stop a child from getting education and moving ahead in life.

My good wishes to all my lovable KISSians, alumni, faculties and the entire KISS DU family on this special day.

Today, 40,000 tribal children of KISS, Bhubaneswar, are feeling very proud and happy to know that Ms Nikita Porwal, Miss World India, while representing our country on the Miss World stage, has spoken about KISS before the world.

Ms Porwal had spent a few days with my lovable KISSians. She stayed with them, interacted with them and saw closely the reality from which many of these children have come, as well as the dreams they carry in their hearts.

Prayers and best wishes from all 40,000 children of KISS to Ms Porwal for her success on the world stage. May she make India proud.

Happy to be in Ranchi, Jharkhand today for a large public meeting focused on tribal empowerment, sports and social development.

The gathering was graced by Shri Subodh Kant Sahay, former Union Minister, Government of India, and Smt. Mohua Majhi, Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha.

I was also happy to share the philosophy of my life, Art of Giving -sharing, caring and giving back to society.

A very proud moment for me and for our entire KIIT & KISS family!

The World Athletics Continental Tour Silver Meet at Kalinga Stadium, Bhubaneswar, concluded with a wonderful performance by our KIITians.

23 KIITians participated in this prestigious international meet and won 11 medals — 4 Gold🥇, 2 Silver🥈 and 5 Bronze🥉.

It gives me great happiness to see our KIITians performing so well on this international platform and winning medals for our country.

Sports have always been an important part of KIIT & KISS. I have always believed that with the right opportunity, training and encouragement, our young sportspersons can achieve great things.

Heartiest congratulations to all our medal winners and every KIITian who participated.

Chess can be much more than a sport. It can be a beautiful tool for learning, thinking and shaping young minds.

I am happy that the FIDE–KISS Chess in Education Teacher Preparation Programme, sponsored by the International Olympic Committee, was successfully organised at KISS from 18–22 August 2026. Thirty teachers from our primary and secondary schools participated in this special training programme.

The programme helped our teachers understand how chess can be used inside the classroom to improve concentration, critical thinking, creativity, decision-making, patience and collaborative learning among children.

My sincere thanks to the leadership of FIDE and IOC for their support and for taking this important initiative forward with KISS. We are also keen to explore how Chess in Education can be developed further as a credit-based course, creating more opportunities for our students and teachers.

The World Athletics Continental Tour Silver Meet begins today at Kalinga Stadium, Bhubaneswar, and it is a matter of pride for Odisha to host such a prestigious international athletics event.

I am very happy that 23 of our KIITians will be competing in different events, and 5 of the 6 athletes representing Odisha are from KIIT.

Around 2,000 of my lovable KISS children will also be at Kalinga Stadium to watch the event and cheer for the athletes. I am sure their presence and support will make the occasion even more special.

I also thank the Government of Odisha for bringing such an important international championship to Bhubaneswar. Competitions of this level give our Indian athletes valuable international exposure and will help them prepare better for the Asian Games in Japan this September.

My best wishes to all our KIITians and every athlete taking part. Give your best and make KIIT, Odisha and India proud.

Living close to the shores of Chilika, Asia's largest brackish water lagoon, we at KIIT understand just how precious our lakes and wetlands are.

World Lake Day is our reminder to keep working towards conservation, whether through research, awareness or the everyday choices we make. Every drop we protect today shapes the ecosystem of tomorrow.

Maa. ❤️

Today is the birth anniversary of my beloved mother, and I feel her presence in so many things around me.

She lived her entire life very simply, quietly and with great love and sacrifice for the family. I never gave her any public exposure during her lifetime. She never came before the public, and she never wanted anything for herself.

But after Maa is gone, I am often surprised and deeply moved to see thousands of people remembering her, showing their love and respect and paying tributes to her soul.

I feel this is the real achievement of a person’s life. We may achieve many things when we are alive, but if people remember us with love after we are gone, I feel there can be no greater achievement. There is a saying that people are often truly valued after they are gone, and I understand this feeling very deeply today.

Today is the 32nd Foundation Day of KIIT Polytechnic, and I was very happy to celebrate this special day with our students, faculty and staff, while also welcoming the new first-year students to the KIIT family.

KIIT Polytechnic is very special to me because it is one of the institutions with which the journey of KIIT actually began. Established in 1995, it has grown over the years and produced thousands of diploma engineers who are doing very well in different fields. I have always said that the huge KIIT we see today stands on the strong foundation laid by KIIT Polytechnic and KIIT ITI.

I told my young students that they are now under the KIIT platform, which itself is a strong brand. They have access to good campuses, laboratories, facilities and many opportunities to learn. This is the age of skills, so they should not remain confined only to their courses. I advised them to keep learning, develop new skills, maintain discipline and use technology in a positive way.

My best wishes to the entire KIIT Polytechnic family on this special occasion.

I feel extremely happy and proud that two of my lovable KIITians, Tejaswin Shankar and Priyanka Goswami, have been selected for the prestigious Arjuna Award 2025. Both have brought glory to India through athletics and have made the entire KIIT family proud.

Tejaswin has represented India with distinction in high jump and decathlon, winning the Asian Games Silver Medal, while Priyanka, an Olympian and one of India’s leading race walkers, won the Silver Medal at the Commonwealth Games.

At KIIT, we have always given special importance to sports and tried to provide our sportspersons with all possible support to grow and perform for the country.
My best wishes to both of them for many more achievements and for continuing to make India proud.

Happy to welcome and interact with a 40-member delegation of monks and teachers from Bhutan, who are here at KIIT and KISS under the Cambridge Education Academic Immersion Programme and our IndiaTrek initiative.

They will spend more than a week with us, visiting our campuses, interacting closely with students and faculty and taking part in academic and cross-cultural activities. This is the fifth batch from Bhutan, and over the years many monks, teachers and students from Bhutan have come to KIIT and KISS for such learning and exchange programmes.

I am especially happy that the Royal Government of Bhutan continues to send such delegations to KIIT and KISS. It reflects the trust and relationship that has developed over the years.

India and Bhutan share a very special friendship, and such programmes bring our young people, teachers and institutions even closer. I hope our friends from Bhutan carry back good memories of Odisha, KIIT and KISS and continue this beautiful association in the years ahead.
