Heartiest congratulations to Ms Sadhvi Satish Sail of Goa on being crowned Femina Miss India World 2026 at the Grand Finale of KIIT Presents 61st Femina Miss India 2026, held at KIIT today. My congratulations also to Ms Rajnandini Pawar of Maharashtra, 1st Runner-Up, and Ms Sree Advaita G of Uniona Territory, 2nd Runner-Up. It was a matter of pride for all of us that this prestigious national event was held in Odisha for the first time, and at the KIIT campus.

For the last few days, the participants and officials had been with us and experienced KIIT, KISS and the rich culture of Odisha closely. Today, seeing this beautiful journey come to its grand conclusion gave me much happiness.

I thank everyone who worked day and night and helped conduct the entire programme smoothly and gracefully. My sincere thanks to The Times Group, Femina, all officials, participants, guests, students, staff, volunteers and the entire KIIT and KISS family. Everything was completed very smoothly, and that gave me happiness.

On Vijay Diwas, I express my deep gratitude to our brave soldiers who brought a historic victory to the nation in 1971. Their courage and sacrifice continue to guide and inspire us. The country remains forever thankful to our heroes and their families.

Happy to share that KIIT-DU has signed an MoU with the Indian Air Force.
We will give 50% concession in tuition fees for wards of serving & retired IAF personnel, and 100% exemption for wards of martyrs. A small step from KIIT to serve those who serve the nation.
