Internationalisation of higher education has always been an important priority for us at KIIT and KISS. Two years ago, we started IndiaTrek, a special initiative that allows students from other countries to experience India’s culture, history, traditions and community life while learning and interacting with our students. I am happy that it has become a very successful initiative.

At the beginning of this new academic session, I feel very happy to welcome a delegation of 38 participants—28 students and 10 faculty members—representing seven colleges of the City University of New York (CUNY). During their ten-day stay, they will spend time with the students of KIIT and KISS, exchange ideas and experience the culture and warmth of Odisha.

I am especially happy to know that each one of them was delighted to see KIIT and KISS flourishing in a state like Odisha. Their happiness and appreciation give us great encouragement.

I have always believed that education should bring people, cultures and countries closer. My best wishes to all our guests for a happy and memorable stay at KIIT and KISS.

I feel very happy to share that KISS Deemed to be University has received the Platinum Rating and secured the 3rd position in the National Green University Ranking 2026, with a score of 95.1 out of 100.

The ranking has been launched by Green Mentors, an organisation in Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (UN-ECOSOC). It is a comprehensive national framework that recognises higher education institutions for their work in sustainability, climate action, green infrastructure, biodiversity conservation and community engagement.

This recognition reflects the continuous efforts of KISS in solar energy, biogas, rainwater harvesting, plantation, scientific waste management and protection of biodiversity.

At KISS, education is not limited to books. We also teach our children to love nature, protect the environment and become responsible citizens. I congratulate the entire KISS family on this achievement and thank Green Mentors for this recognition.

10 years have passed since Maa left her mortal presence. Yet, not a single day has passed when I have not felt her presence and blessings in my life.

I lost my father when I was only four years old. From that day, Maa became everything to me—my mother, father, teacher, my best friend, strength and greatest support. Amidst extreme poverty and countless struggles, she raised all seven of us single-handedly. I never saw her lose courage or complain about her difficulties.

Maa never asked for anything for herself. Her only wish was that I should serve people, care for the poor and work for the development of our village and society. Whatever I am today and whatever I have been able to do through KIIT, KISS and KIMS is only because of her sacrifice, values and blessings.

On her 10th Punyatithi, my heartfelt tributes to my Maa—my first teacher, my greatest strength and my eternal hero.

I pray before Mahaprabhu Jagannath for the eternal peace of her sacred soul.

My Mother, My Hero.

Friendship has always been one of the most precious relationships in my life. A true friend is equal to a thousand relatives—selfless, caring and always there when we need support.

Since the age of five, I have valued friendship deeply. I have always believed that one good friend can make difficult days easier, solve many problems and make every happy moment more memorable. Even today, I give great importance to my friendships.

Having a true friend is one of the greatest blessings in life.

Happy International Day of Friendship to all my dear friends.
