ପବିତ୍ର କୁମାର ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣିମା ତଥା ଗଜଲକ୍ଷ୍ମୀଙ୍କ ପୂଜା ଅବସରରେ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ମୋର ହାର୍ଦ୍ଦିକ ଶୁଭେଚ୍ଛା ଓ ଶୁଭକାମନା।
ଧନ, ଐଶ୍ୱର୍ଯ୍ୟ ଓ ସମୃଦ୍ଧିର ପ୍ରତୀକ ମା’ ଗଜଲକ୍ଷ୍ମୀଙ୍କ ଅପାର କୃପାରୁ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ଜୀବନ ସୁଖ, ଶାନ୍ତି ଓ ଉନ୍ନତିରେ ଭରିଯାଉ। କୁମାର ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣିମାର ନିର୍ମଳ ଜହ୍ନ ଆଲୋକ ପରି ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କ ଜୀବନ ଆନନ୍ଦମୟ ହେଉ।
ଏତିକି କାମନା l

It gave me great happiness to spend time again with the 17-member delegation from Washington State, USA, including Washington State Senator Tina Louise Orwall and mayors of several cities. To have so many American policymakers together at KIIT & KISS was very special for our entire family. They visited our campuses, met my lovable KISSians and were very impressed by what they saw. Our students and staff were equally happy to interact with them.

Many of them wanted to know how such large institutions run so smoothly. As they went around, they could see for themselves that KIIT & KISS are system-driven, not one-person-driven. I have devoted my life to this cause, and over the years, we have built strong systems and a dedicated team of teachers and staff who keep everything going each day.

I thank our guests for taking such an interest in our work and for the affection they showed our children.

Honored in Doha, Qatar.

Humbled to have been conferred the International Founder of the Year 2026 award by the Federation of Global Engineers at the 59th Engineers’ Day celebration in Doha, Qatar.

I could not attend due to prior commitments, but my representative received the award on my behalf from His Excellency Dr K. Srikar Reddy, Ambassador of India to Qatar. My sincere thanks to him and to the Federation for this honour.

Heartiest congratulations to former India cricketer Shri Pragyan Ojha (@pragyanojha) on becoming Chairperson of the BCCI Men’s Selection Committee. He takes on an important responsibility for Indian cricket, and as an Odia cricketer, he makes us especially proud. My good wishes to him and the entire committee as they identify and support the country’s best talent.

Our campus is home to children from many communities and traditions, living, learning and playing side by side. KISS is a small example of the world the UN dreams of.

Every year, when I am in my village for Durga Puja, I follow the procession until Maa Durga is immersed in the river. Afterwards, I dive into the same water and bathe, just as I have done since childhood.

I cannot fully explain why this means so much to me. So many years have passed, but standing by that river, watching Maa go and then stepping into the water takes me back to the child I once was. I do it out of love for Maa Durga and for the village that will always be my home.

@achyuta_samanta Proud moment indeed!

[Achyuta Samanta @achyuta_samanta]

I had earlier shared that 57 of my lovable KIITians represented India at the recently concluded Asian Games in Japan and brought home 21 medals. At the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, 14 of our students won five medals.

Today, we felicitated all of them and presented cash awards worth Rs 2.5 crore to encourage them to go further.

Seeing them represent India gives me more happiness than I can express. My good wishes to all of them for the journey ahead.

We at KIIT-DU inaugurated the IET–KIIT Bhubaneswar Student Chapter under the IET Kolkata Network, in association with the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET.)

The inauguration was accompanied by a technical seminar on Smart Cities, featuring expert discussions on smart energy, smart governance, technological innovation, and sustainable urban development.

The initiative will provide our students with opportunities to connect with global professional networks, gain industry insights, explore emerging technologies, and develop skills for the engineering challenges of tomorrow.

Through this initiative, we continue to strengthen industry–academia collaboration and promote experiential learning, innovation, and engineering excellence.

Wishing a very Happy Birthday to the legendary Bollywood superstar, Amitabh Bachchan ji (@SrBachchan), with heartfelt prayers from 40,000 KISS students! May your special day be filled with good health, happiness, and prosperity.

I feel fortunate to have spent nearly two hours with you on two occasions in my life — first at the Cleanathon and then on Kaun Banega Crorepati. I will always cherish that time with you.

चित्रा (@chitraaum)जी, आपके स्नेह भरे शब्दों के लिए धन्यवाद। KIIT और KISS मे आपका स्वागत करना हमारे लिए बहुत खुशी की बात रही। आपने हमारे बच्चों को जो समय और स्नेह दिया, उसके लिए मै आपका आभारी हूँ। आपकी कलम और आवाज़ इसी तरह समाज के काम आती रहे। जय जगन्नाथ।

Very happy to welcome Dr Ashok Kumar Lahiri ji, Vice Chairperson of NITI Aayog, to the KIIT & KISS campuses. He met my lovable KISSians, went around the campuses, saw our facilities, watched their cultural performances and encouraged them to do well in their studies and in sports.

He called our children the future of India and spoke of the part they can play in building a Viksit Bharat by 2047. I was especially happy to hear him praise their confidence. My sincere thanks to him for spending time with our children and wishing them well.

Thank you for your kind words, Shri Motilal Oswal ji. We were happy to have you spend time with our children at KIIT & KISS. Your affection and encouragement mean a great deal to me and to our entire family.

[Achyuta Samanta @achyuta_samanta]

Very happy to welcome Her Excellency Ms Hanisha Jairam, Ambassador of Suriname to India, to KIIT & KISS. She went around our KIIT campuses, saw the facilities at KISS and spent time with my lovable KISSians. We also spoke about the long ties of history and culture between India and Suriname.

She appreciated the confidence and smiles of my KISSians, encouraged them to dream big whatever their circumstances, and spoke about how educating a girl can help her whole family. My sincere thanks to her for spending time with our children and for her kind words.
