Five more medals from Japan today! I am so happy to see my KIITians win for India at the 20th Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya.

Sarvesh Kushare cleared 2.25m for Silver in the high jump, giving India a medal in this event after 56 years. Ancy Sojan jumped 6.53m for Silver in the long jump. Parul Chaudhary ran a national record 9:08.67 for Bronze in the steeplechase. Tejaswin Shankar won Bronze in the decathlon with 7,934 points, and Harita Bhadra took Bronze in the women’s 200m in 23.20 seconds.

Harita’s run brought back a special memory for me. In 2018, our Dutee Chand won Silver for India in the same event. She too clocked 23.20 seconds. Eight years later, another KIITian has won a medal for India in the women’s 200m.

All five of India’s athletics medals today came from our students. My KIITians have now won 11 medals at these Games—five Silver and six Bronze. My heartiest congratulations and best wishes to all of them.

Another proud moment for India and our KIIT & KISS family. My lovable KIITians Sawan Barwal, Tajinderpal Singh Toor and Prachi Choudhary have won three more medals for India—two Silver and one Bronze—at the 20th Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan.

Sawan ran the Men’s Marathon in 2:11:37, setting a new national record and bringing India a medal in this event after 44 years. Tajinderpal won Silver in the Men’s Shot Put with a throw of 20.64m. He has now won a medal at three Asian Games in a row, including Gold at the last two. Prachi won Bronze in the Women’s 400m, clocking 53.21 seconds.

Our KIITians have now won six medals for India at the 20th Asian Games—three Silver and three Bronze, across five individual events and the mixed 4×400m relay. I hope many more will follow.

My congratulations to all our medal winners, and my good wishes to those still competing in Japan.

4 Special Honours at the 45th World Congress of Poets in Europe.

Happy and humbled to receive four special honours for my lifelong service to humanity through education and social work. These were conferred during the 45th World Congress of Poets in Europe —the ‘Mother Teresa Award’, ‘Professor Honoris Causa’ from AAB University College, ‘Recognition from the City of Peja’ and the ‘Medal of the President of the World Congress of Poets’. Our representative received the honours on my behalf.

The World Congress of Poets, held under the auspices of the World Academy of Arts and Culture, has brought poets and writers from across the world together since 1969. Its message of ‘Brotherhood and Peace through Poetry’ makes this international gathering very special.

Each honour means a lot to me. The Mother Teresa Award is especially close to my heart, as her life of compassion and service to the poor continues to inspire humanity. I have also tried, in my own small way, to give education, dignity and hope to those who need it most.

My sincere thanks to WAAC, WCP, AAB University College, the City of Peja and everyone associated with the Congress. I share this happiness with my entire KIIT, KISS & KIMS family.

[Bijoy Kumar Mishra @BijoyKumarffst]

Another honour that gives me much happiness. Humbled to receive the ‘Education Philanthropic Award’ from FIDE, the International Chess Federation, at its Summit on Chess in Education in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, on 24 September 2026, with participants from over 120 member countries. The summit was held alongside the 46th FIDE Chess Olympiad and Congress. My Dear Aditya received the award on my behalf.

I am also happy that FIDE, KIIT and KISS have signed an MoU to expand our Chess in Education initiatives. This follows the FIDE Global Conference on Chess in Society and Education, which we co-hosted at KIIT in January, and the teacher preparation programme held at KISS in August.

I have always wanted our children to have every opportunity to learn and grow through education and sports. This collaboration will help more of my lovable KIITians and KISSians learn and enjoy chess.

My sincere thanks to Interim President Mr Viswanathan Anand, Acting Chair Ms Dana Reizniece-Ozola and the entire FIDE family for this honour and for supporting our efforts to bring chess to more children.

[Bijoy Kumar Mishra @BijoyKumarffst]

Happy and humbled to be honoured as ‘Leader of the Year’ at the 2026 CEEMAN Champions Awards. I am also happy to learn that I am the first Indian to receive this honour.

Our representative received the award on my behalf at the 34th CEEMAN Annual Conference in Bucharest, Romania, hosted by the Bucharest University of Economic Studies.

CEEMAN, the International Association for Management Development in Dynamic Societies, was founded in 1993. Based in Bled, Slovenia, it has around 180 members from about 50 countries working to improve management education and promote responsible leadership.

Its belief in combining excellence with relevance makes this recognition meaningful to me. It values how education and institutions improve lives, a purpose close to my heart through our work at KIIT, KISS, KIMS and Art of Giving.

My sincere thanks to CEEMAN, its President, Prof. Danica Purg, and the jury for this honour.
