Jharkhand CM Visits Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences

"I visited Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) and learned a lot from it," said Shri Hemant Soren, Hon'ble Chief Minister of Jharkhand, during his visit on April 28, 2023. In his address to KISS students, he congratulated Dr Achyuta Samanta, Founder of KIIT & KISS, for creating such an excellent institution. "It is unthinkable for any government to create such a massive institution," he said.

Shri Soren indicated a wish to establish a comparable institution in Jharkhand, highlighting the benefits it may provide to tribal tribes in his state. He stated that because Jharkhand lacks an institution like KISS, the Naxal crisis and many other tribal problems can be solved if an institute like KISS is founded.

“KISS has made me think about it a lot. KISS and Dr Samanta will guide us in involving the tribal community in the development process. We will adopt the practices and create the atmosphere of KISS in the education sector in Jharkhand. For this, we will provide all support to KISS”, Shri Soren stated, adding that the passion, enthusiasm and atmosphere of KISS among the children are remarkable.

He exhorted the youngsters to use the opportunity to attain their goals through perseverance and hard work. Shri Soren said on this occasion that he would contribute one month's salary to KISS. His wife, Smt. Kalpana Murmu Soren was taken aback by the large number of students at KISS. "You have come so far from the village to reach KISS," she told the pupils. I believe you can achieve your goal with the help of the founder, Dr Achyuta Samanta, and the KISS professors. She advised pupils to maintain their confidence throughout their lives.

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Sukhdev Singh, Chief Secretary of Jharkhand, said that KISS is not an institution but an empire. Such an institution could not have been created without God’s blessings. It is because of God’s blessings on Dr Achyuta Samanta that he has built such a vast institution, he stated while expressing hope that an institute like KISS would be implemented in Jharkhand. Earlier, Dr Achyuta Samanta delivered the welcome speech. Prof. Deepak Behera, VC, KISS Deemed to be University proposed the vote of thanks. Among others, Shri Vinay Choubey, Secretary to CM, Jharkhand, and Shri Sunil Kumar Srivastava, CM’s Private Secretary, were present.
