ଆମ ଜନଜାତି ସମ୍ପ୍ରଦାୟରେ ମାଣ୍ଡିଆର ଏକ ସ୍ଵତନ୍ତ୍ର ସ୍ଥାନ ରହିଆସିଛି। #MandiaDibasa ଅବସରରେ ମୁଁ ଆମର ସେହି ଚାଷୀଭାଇମାନଙ୍କୁ କୃତଜ୍ଞତା ଜଣାଉଛି। ସେମାନେ ହିଁ ମାଣ୍ଡିଆ ପରମ୍ପରାକୁ ବଜାୟ ରଖିଛନ୍ତି।
ଆସନ୍ତୁ ଏହି ପୌଷ୍ଟିକ ଶସ୍ୟକୁ ଆମ ଦୈନନ୍ଦିନ ଖାଦ୍ୟର ଏକ ଅଂଶ କରିବା ଏବଂ ପିଲାମାନଙ୍କୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ଏହାକୁ ଖୁସିରେ ଖାଇବା ପାଇଁ ଉତ୍ସାହିତ କରିବା।

My humble tributes to Shri Pradyumna Bal, Founder President of KIIT and KISS Society, on his 94th birth anniversary. He always stood for truth and the welfare of the poor. Though he left us in 1999, his values continue to guide me. Remembering him with deep respect and gratitude, I encouraged our children to follow his example of honesty and service to society.

After spending the past few days with our KIIT & KISS family and exploring Odisha, our 20 friends from Israel came together to share their experiences before leaving. Very happy to join them at the Leadership Connect and valedictory ceremony of the India Trek for Global Leaders programme and present them with certificates.

Led by Mr Sagi Melamed, Chief Development Officer of the Israel Antiquities Authority and Co-President of the Harvard Club of Israel, the delegates shared their experiences of the past few days. They spoke warmly about our students, our campuses and their time in Odisha. Humbled by their kind words comparing KIIT & KISS with leading organisations across the world and saying they felt fortunate to be here.

This is India Trek—bringing friends from across the world together for cultural exchange and an opportunity to experience India, particularly Odisha, its people, culture and heritage, through KIIT & KISS. Happy that our friends are taking home such fond memories. My sincere thanks and gratitude to all of them for spending time with us.

20 Global Leaders from Israel Visit KIIT & KISS.

Very happy to welcome a 20-member delegation of global leaders from Israel to KIIT & KISS under our IndiaTrek programme. They are with us for over a week to immerse themselves in various activities, visit our campuses, interact with our staff and students, and explore Odisha’s culture and heritage. Our 40,000 tribal children at KISS welcomed them with much love and affection.

Through IndiaTrek, we have been inviting friends from across the world to experience India, particularly Odisha, its people, art, culture and heritage. It is a pleasure to have our friends from Israel spend time with our students and see our work in education and social service closely.

I was also humbled to receive a certificate of appreciation from the Harvard Club of Israel and the IndiaTrek participants for my efforts in education and humanitarian service. My sincere thanks and gratitude to them for their kind words and thoughtful gesture.

I wish all our guests a happy and memorable stay with us and hope they carry home fond memories of Odisha and our children.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Padma Shri Dr Ashok Kumar Mahapatra, eminent neurosurgeon and first Director of AIIMS Bhubaneswar. His contribution to medicine and the historic Jaga–Kalia surgery will always be remembered. My heartfelt condolences to his family. May his noble soul rest in peace.
Om Shanti.

Very happy to see the enthusiastic participation of young girls from different parts of Odisha in the Bhubaneswar auditions of the 26th KIIT Nanhipari Little Miss India, held at KIIT. After the completion of auditions across different states of India, the Odisha auditions were held in Bhubaneswar.

What started as a small initiative in Keonjhar in 2001 has today grown into a national-level platform for young girls to showcase their talent, intelligence, creativity and confidence. For me, Nanhipari has always been much more than a competition. It is an opportunity to encourage young girls, recognise their potential and give them the confidence to dream big and move forward in life.

I am happy that we are continuing this initiative for the 26th year, with scholarships worth ₹56 lakh for the winners. My heartiest congratulations to the winners selected from the Bhubaneswar auditions as well as from all other states. My blessings and best wishes to every participant. Every girl who comes forward to participate is a winner in her own way.

Looking forward to welcoming our young talents from across India for the semi-finals and grand finale at KIIT from 27th to 29th December 2026.

Heartiest birthday wishes to Smt Nita Ambani ji. Her dedication to education, sports and social service, and her love for India’s art and culture, have earned her immense love and respect. I am grateful for her love and affection towards our KIIT & KISS family.

It always gives me great happiness to meet the parents of my lovable KISSians. They have entrusted their children to us, and I have always felt that they should see for themselves how their children are living, learning and growing.

At our quarterly parents’ meet, parents visit the campus, spend time with their children and look around the facilities. I always encourage them to ask questions and satisfy themselves before returning home. Their trust means a great deal to me.

This time, they were particularly happy to see the modernisation of KISS, including individual beds for the children and new steel dining tables and seating arrangements. I was very happy to hear their words of appreciation and their confidence in the care we provide.

Providing education, food, accommodation and care completely free of cost to 40,000 children on one campus is a huge responsibility. My constant effort is to give them the comfort, facilities and opportunities available in any good school in India.

For me, every child at KISS is my own. Their well-being and the confidence of their parents will always remain close to my heart.

Heartiest congratulations to our scientists and the entire team at @isro on the successful launch of GSLV-F18 carrying the NVS-03 satellite, strengthening India’s own navigation system, NavIC.

My humble tributes to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel ji, the Iron Man of India, on his birth anniversary. His contribution to uniting our country will always be remembered with gratitude.

Deeply saddened to learn that Prof. (Dr.) V. D. Sebastian is no more. A prominent senior legal academic, he devoted many years to teaching law at institutions including KIIT School of Law. I offer my heartfelt tributes to him and remember with respect his years of service to education.

My sincere condolences to his family, colleagues and students. May Mahaprabhu grant eternal peace to his soul and give his family strength to bear this loss. Om Shanti.

Very happy to welcome our new MBBS and BDS students of the 2026 batch to the KIMS family at their White Coat Ceremony. My sincere thanks to their parents for placing their trust in us and entrusting us with their children’s future.

I advised my dear students to make the best use of the facilities and opportunities available at KIMS and across KIIT. There is so much to learn, and I hope they will always keep this eagerness to gain knowledge.

My best wishes to all of them as they begin this journey. May they become good doctors, serve people with compassion and make their parents proud.
