OUR INSPIRATION
Prof. Achyuta Samanta’s life story is a compelling saga of grit, determination, and social responsibility. Born into poverty in a remote village in Odisha, his early years were marked by immense hardship. At the tender age of four, he faced a devastating loss—the death of his father. This tragedy plunged his family into extreme poverty, turning the next 15 years into a relentless struggle for food and education. Despite these challenges, Prof. Samanta persevered, joining the teaching profession at the age of 22. By 25, he embarked on a journey that would not only change his own life but also transform the lives of thousands. Armed with just ₹5000, he established KIIT (Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology) and KISS (Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences) in two rented houses.
Today, KIIT and KISS stand as beacons of hope, delivering world-class education and earning national and international accolades. KIIT has become one of India’s most sought-after universities for professional education, hosting 40,000 students, including representation from 65 countries. KISS provides holistic care—education, healthcare, sports, and vocational training—to 80,000 disadvantaged tribal students, all free of cost in a residential campus. It encompasses a school, a college, and the KISS Deemed to be University, the world’s first and only university exclusively dedicated to tribal education. By promoting education, KISS has played a pivotal role in addressing societal issues such as naxalism, trafficking, malnutrition, illiteracy, and superstitions.
In addition to these remarkable achievements, Prof. Samanta founded the Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences, Kalinga Institute of Dental Sciences, and Kalinga Institute of Nursing Sciences. These institutions are complemented by a state-ofthe-art 2600-bedded hospital, a superspeciality center, and a cancer care hospital. His vision extends beyond education and healthcare. Prof. Samanta developed Asia’s first smart village—Kalarabanka Smart Village—and a model panchayat in Odisha, both powered entirely by solar energy.
Prof. Samanta’s contributions span diverse fields, including art, culture, literature, media, spirituality, rural development, and sports. His impact on sports is extraordinary, nurturing 15 Olympians through his institutions, developing world-class sports infrastructure, and promoting athletes who contribute to physical fitness, national unity, and social integration.
Despite his towering achievements, Prof. Samanta remains a humble and compassionate individual. He leads a simple life, embodying humility and selflessness while dedicating himself to uplifting society.
BHUBANESWAR- Temple City
Bhubaneswar is an ancient city in India’s eastern state of Odisha, formerly Orissa. Many temples built from sandstone are dotted around Bindu Sagar Lake in the old city, including the 11th-century Hindu Lingaraja Temple. Outside Rajarani Temple are sculpted figures of the guardians of the 8 cardinal and ordinal directions. Jain antiques, weaponry and indigenous pattachitra paintings fill the Odisha State Museum. Bhubaneswar is the capital and largest city of the Indian state of Odisha, located in the Khordha district. The region, especially the old town, was historically often depicted as Chakra Kshetra and Ekamra Kshetra (Area adorned with a mango tree).Bhubaneswar is dubbed the “Temple City”, a nickname earned because of the 700 temples which once stood there. In contemporary times, it has emerged as an education huband an attractive business destination.
Bhubaneswar derived its name from Tribhubaneswar, which literally means the Lord (Eeswar) of the Three World (Tribhuban), which refers to Shiva. Along with the old town, the present day Bhubaneswar has often been illustrated as the Ekamra Khetra (Temple City). Although the modern city of Bhubaneswar was formally established only in 1948, the history of the areas in and around the presentday city can be traced to the 3rd century BCE and earlier. It is a confluence of Hindu, Buddhist and Jain heritage boasting of some of the finest Kalingan temples.
