Happy to welcome a five-member delegation from Newcastle University, UK, led by Professor Nigel Harkness, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, to KIIT and KISS as part of our ongoing collaboration.
We had meaningful discussions on academics, research, innovation, sustainability, environment, agriculture, engineering and future opportunities for our students and faculty.
They visited KIIT and KISS campuses, interacted with our faculty members and appreciated the infrastructure, academic environment and the work being done here.
I am happy that KIIT and Newcastle University are continuing this journey with a shared thought for knowledge, research and service to society. My sincere thanks to the entire delegation for visiting KIIT and KISS.
At KISS, the library is a peaceful sanctuary for intellectual growth, curiosity, and deep learning.
Surrounded by an extensive collection of books, students gather to study, research, and expand their horizons beyond the classroom.

I feel very happy to share that the FIVB–KIIT–KISS Centre of Excellence for Volleyball at KIIT has been elevated to an International Centre of Excellence for Volleyball and Beach Volleyball by FIVB.
This announcement was made at the FIVB Headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, in the presence of FIVB President Dr Fabio Azevedo and the FIVB leadership.
This is a proud moment for KIIT, KISS, Odisha and India. What started as a centre to support Indian volleyball players will now become a global platform for players, coaches and sports professionals from different countries. It will also give international athletes the opportunity to study at KIIT and KISS while receiving world-class volleyball and beach volleyball training.
I am thankful to Dr Fabio Azevedo and the entire FIVB leadership for their trust and encouragement.
My dream is to see India represented in Volleyball and Beach Volleyball at the Olympic Games. I believe this International Centre of Excellence will help us identify, train and prepare young talents for the future, including our long-term aim towards Brisbane Olympics 2032.

Happy to welcome the Krishnavataram movie team to KIIT and KISS today for the screening and promotion of the film.
The film beautifully presents the life, love, devotion and message of Lord Krishna. Such films help our young generation remain connected with Indian culture, spirituality and values.
I felt very happy that the team interacted with our students and appreciated the campus, the discipline of our children and the atmosphere of KIIT and KISS.
My best wishes to the entire team of Krishnavataram. May the blessings of Lord Krishna be with all.
Very happy to see my 20 lovable KIIT & KISS students performing Shakespeare’s plays in Santali language at the Constitution Club of India, New Delhi, before a distinguished gathering of more than 500 people, including over 200 ambassadors, high commissioners and diplomats, after their return from Romania.
They had earlier presented Santali language and tribal culture at the International Shakespeare Festival in Romania. Today also, everyone appreciated them so much.
For me, this is a matter of great happiness. Our children are taking the language, culture and pride of our soil to such respected platforms.
Today, our 20 KIIT and KISS students had the privilege of meeting the Hon’ble President of India, Smt. Droupadi Murmu Ji, after their return from Romania.
She appreciated their participation and beautiful performances at the International Shakespeare Festival, where they represented India, Odisha and Santali language through Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet in Santali.
It is a very proud and emotional moment for all of us. Our children have shown that with opportunity, encouragement and confidence, they can carry their culture and talent to the world.
My heartfelt gratitude to Hon’ble President Smt. Droupadi Murmu Ji for her love, blessings and encouragement to our children.

#DidYouKnow Indian Railways transports fully loaded trucks on trains!!
Trucks are driven directly onto railway wagons and carried to their destination without unloading the cargo.
This is called Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO)
Or Truck-on-Train (TOT) service.
A smart way to save fuel, reduce emissions, and decongest highways.
This is Odisha’s biggest hotel project.
Mayfair Sanctuary, Bhubaneswar is taking shape.

> 2 lakh sq ft convention area
> Parking for 1,000 cars
On World Bicycle Day, I remember my childhood days when the bicycle was my simple companion. It taught me simplicity, discipline, health and care for nature.
Happy that KIIT and KISS are contributing to cycling through the international-standard Cycling Velodrome, created in honour of Odisha’s first Arjuna Awardee in cycling, Ms Minati Mohapatra.
May our youth take up cycling for good health and a better future.
74th Honorary Doctorate
Humbled to receive my 74th Honorary Doctorate from IES, Strasbourg (France), for my contributions to society over the last three decades.
I am deeply grateful to IES, Strasbourg, its Founder, Ms Soula Kyriakou, and its Co-founder, Ms Zinaida Kyriakou, for this honour. It gives me more strength to continue working for society and humanity.
Happy that KIIT has also signed an MoU with IES, Strasbourg, to further strengthen meaningful collaboration and create new opportunities for students and faculty.
We are incredibly proud to be recognised not just for world-class academics, but for making a real-world impact. Ranked No 1 in India for driving equality, peace, and justice, and strong institutions, KIIT is moulding the leaders of tomorrow through non-stop innovation.
Are you ready to be a part of India's top-tier university experience?
I feel very happy and emotional as Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) enters its 20th year of service to society.
On this special occasion, we felicitated our doctors, nurses, healthcare assistants, technicians, paramedics, administrative staff, support staff and all members who have been part of the KIMS family since the beginning days of 2006. This was a small gesture to recognise their contribution, dedication and silent service, and ax noble journey with the same commitment.
I am deeply indebted to all doctors, staff, healthcare workers, patients, well-wishers and every member of the KIMS family who have tremendously contributed to the growth of KIMS.
KIMS is not only a hospital. It is a place of hope, healing and humanity.
