Highlights from today’s 80th Independence Day celebration at KISS with my 40,000 lovable KISSians.

Seeing all my children together with the Tiranga, celebrating with so much enthusiasm and pride, made me very happy. Their energy, discipline and love for the country made the occasion very special.

Heartiest congratulations to our KIIT student Ancy Sojan for creating history with a 6.88m leap in Women’s Long Jump at the National Inter-State Senior Athletics Championships in Bhubaneswar.

Breaking Anju Bobby George’s 22-year-old national record is a proud moment for Indian athletics. Her hard work and discipline have made KIIT and the nation proud.

My best wishes to her for the days ahead.

On International Day for Biological Diversity, let us remember that every tree, bird, animal and small living being has a role in keeping our planet healthy. Protecting biodiversity is protecting our own future. Let us care for nature with love and responsibility.

Happy to share that KIIT has taken another small but meaningful step towards global cooperation and service. During my visit to Bonn, Germany, KIIT signed two important MoUs with the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) and the United Nations System Staff College (UNSSC).

We had fruitful discussions with the leadership of the United Nations Volunteers Programme (UNV) regarding the Special Voluntary collaboration. This will give our students and young people more opportunity to serve, learn and understand the world through volunteerism. It gives me happiness that KIIT is the first university in South Asia to open such a path with UNV for youth volunteering opportunities.

I also feel happy that KIIT’s MoU with the United Nations System Staff College (UNSSC), through the Nelson Mandela Global Academy for Social Change, will create opportunities for young leaders to learn about social change, leadership, dialogue and service to society.

For me, education is not only about knowledge. It is about compassion, responsibility and service to humanity. I am thankful to UNV and UNSSC for their faith in KIIT. I hope these MoUs will open new doors for many young people, including my lovable KIITians and KISSians, to learn from global platforms and serve society with a good heart.

Today, on the 13th Anniversary of the International Day of Art of Giving, I feel very happy to see the love and participation of people across the world.

This year, Art of Giving was celebrated at 50,000 locations across 6 continents and over 190 countries. In India, it was celebrated in all prominent cities, and in Odisha alone, it reached 20,000 locations. Internationally, celebrations were held in around 1,000 places and cities. I also feel happy that through the support of FIDE and FIVB, the message of Art of Giving reached their member countries.

This year, more than 50 lakh people participated, and over 25 million people were impacted through different activities of giving, sharing, service and kindness.

I am also happy that we have set a Best of India Records for Most Volleyball Sets Distributed over Three Days. As part of this, 9,006 volleyballs and 3,002 nets were distributed at 3,002 locations across India. This will encourage many young children and youth to play, stay healthy and grow with discipline.

Art of Giving started as a simple thought from my life. Today, seeing it spread so widely gives me inner happiness. My heartfelt thanks to all my fan-followers, well-wishers, volunteers, office bearers, institutions, sports bodies and every person who celebrated Art of Giving in their own way.

Let us continue to Share to Shine and spread peace, happiness, friendship and harmony. Happy International Day of Art of Giving.

Today we will be presenting the KISS Humanitarian Award 2025 to Smt. Nita M. Ambani, Founder and Chairperson of Reliance Foundation, in recognition of her remarkable contribution towards humanitarian service and social development.

Through her work in education, healthcare, sports and community welfare, she has touched the lives of countless people and inspired many through her commitment to inclusive growth and empowerment.

The KISS Humanitarian Award, instituted in 2008, honours individuals across the world who have made meaningful contributions for the welfare of humanity. Many distinguished global leaders and Nobel Laureates have received this honour in the past.

I request all our students, staff, alumni and well-wishers of the KIIT, KISS and KIMS family to watch the award ceremony live on my Facebook & Instagram platforms today.
