I congratulate Dr. Samanta for establishing institutions of character like KIIT and KISS. I urge the students of KIIT & KISS to take lead in spreading the message of peace and non-violence in present day strife torn world.

Dr. Alejandro Toledo

I pay tribute to Dr. Samanta for having initiated this enormous task of transforming social lives of millions of people in this country that we admire. I come from where you come from. Different languages, different religion – yes! But the same challenge. You have the luck of being at Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences, because you are a group of human beings – men and women – under the leadership of my brother, Samanta.

Dr. Habil Khorakiwala

My admiration for KISS has increased. It never ceases to amaze me. Vision, dedication, and passion in creating an institute with 25,000 children must be applauded. KISS is an oasis in Odisha. It reflects the vision of Dr. Achyuta Samanta.

Dr. A.

Persons like Achyuta Samanta rarely take birth on earth. I have brought Parliament’s attention to Achyuta Samanta’s sacrifice and KISS.

It is a magical moment. I have never before seen 10,000 girls together at one place. KISS is a role model for all towards social transformation.
