A moment that touches the soul and reminds us of our civilisational strength.
At Somnath, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has beautifully reflected on India’s unbroken spirit — faith that endured, values that survived, and a civilisation that always rose again.

It was a pleasure to welcome and interact with over 70 IndiaTrek participants on our campus. Between 5th and 13th January, six cohorts from leading institutions — @Harvard, @MIT, @Columbia SIPA, @utulsa, @virginia_tech, along with senior U.S. global faculty — at KIIT & KISS.

Youth are the strength of our nation. On National Youth Day, celebrated on the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, we remember his faith in the power of young minds. When youth are guided by values, discipline, and self-belief, they shape the future of society and the nation.

For the first time, Odisha has the honour of hosting the AAPI Global Summit, with the Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences as its venue. It is a moment of quiet pride to welcome doctors of Indian origin from across the world to our land.
