‘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.’
'KIIT goes way beyond what I had expected to see. I was told that it is a nice institute with many students, but what I see here is nothing less than a township.
'KIIT is the first university that I have come across which is not promoted by a rich individual. Its Founder, Dr. Samanta runs this huge organisation from a chair and table under a tree. Even if there are 10 individuals like him in India, future of the country would be transformed.'
"I offer my special congratulations to Dr. Achyuta Samantaji. Such great things do not happen on their own. I think he has some special blessings of God that he thought of setting up this noble institution."
"KIIT and KISS are more developed than even the most prominent of educational institutions in South India. I bow down to Dr. Achyuta Samanta, who single handedly built this gigantic institution.'
Dr. A. Samanta had created a beautiful environment for learning and growth, which must be leveraged towards imparting qualitative education. “We are happy that we have people like Dr. Samanta in the Board of University Grants Commission and I hope that he will be able to give better guidance on the cause of education.”
‘I have seen many universities - private universities, deemed universities and Government universities. In a place like Bhubaneswar, KIIT is a sprawling University with all types of modern facilities and a wide range of disciplines, all at one place. There is perhaps no other example in India of a University like KIIT.
This University does not belong to Orissa alone. It belongs to the whole country; it belongs to the whole world. It can only happen if somebody renders selfless service to the society. '
‘It is very easy to simply expand education but the real challenge is to produce quality education. And that of course depends upon a huge amount of personal effort. Personal efforts of the teachers, in this particular case of the Founder himself, having conceptualised the whole thing and made this possible is praiseworthy. KIIT provides a beacon of what is possible through purely private effort.’
'KIIT is a very young but already very well known and highly respected university. This institution has the aroma of passionate and complete dedication. It is born of the labour of love and is, above all, humane.'
‘KIIT is a qualitative institution of global standard. I congratulate its founder Dr. Achyuta Samanta.’
'KIIT & KISS are laboratories of education.'
"It is impressive to see what has been established in the few years of its existence."
“I am greatly impressed by the progress made by this young University in such a short time and for this I offer my respect and admiration to its founder, Dr. Achyuta Samanta."
“Collect your dreams right now, carefully analyse them, exclude the impossible ones and set a strict focus on realistic and approachable goals with a certain success rate and be aware to also include a portion of rest. I am enormously impressed how this University has developed.”
"It is humanity that ultimately benefits from the endeavours of KIIT and its founder, Dr. Samanta. Today, for the first time, I have experienced education for all in real time. I have been able to see not due to the work of a government or through the work of an inter-governmental organization, but through the vision, personal sacrifice and commitment of a man who has devoted his entire life to the betterment of the human condition out of love for his fellow human beings" .
"Very impressive understating to provide such extensive expressive educational facilities. The scale of it is amazing and will surely impact the future of India. This is India’s secret to success."
"After having visited KIIT campuses, I am very much impressed by the dynamism and the energy here-the leadership, the management team, faculty, staff and students & am also impressed by the driving line, commitment and the spirit of team work."
“My visit to KIIT and KISS reconfirmed my belief that education is not preparation for life, but it is life itself. I commend youthful energy of KIIT . It is one of the foundations of future. It also reflects the spirit of rising Odisha”
"It has been a great privilege for me and my team to visit the KIIT and KISS on September 8th and 9th 2012.
It has been encouraging, stimulating and motivating that even one individual, Dr. A. Samanta, who was deprived of the blessing and support of his father at the age of four and grew up in absolute poverty, architected his mission to provide quality education to so many children."
"This is one of the most amazing and inspiring organizations I have ever seen. The world would be a better place if KIIT could be replicated in every part of the world where there is a need."
"How such a wonderful future of India has been planted here in KIIT!
We at IYFI have been inspired a lot. Truly we appreciate all of you."
'I am overwhelmed to see this wonderful Institution. It is building a better future for all its pupils and India as a whole.'
'I am very happy to be here in this vibrant and upcoming University, KIIT.'
'I feel inspired by the way the institution has developed. May it prosper and go from strength to strength.'
'I have been extraordinarily impressed with the phenomenal work undertaken by KIIT/KISS. The work of these two institutions gives me great hope that the challenges facing eastern India can be translated into opportunity. You are truly inspirations for all of the world.’
'We thank KIIT and its management for a wonderful conference, an impressive inauguration of the School of Biotechnology and Convocation. Organisation of our visit and of the events was excellent and highly professional.'
‘Without any financial donor and State funding, this institution is alive and really creating a world that we all love to see. A just, peaceful, human and caring institution, contributing to build a world of peace and harmony.'
‘This is a wonderful campus. I am particularly impressed with the great work of Dr. Samanta, Founder of KIIT and KISS.’
‘I was impressed with KIIT. The time of the operation, the rapid expansion and the great dedication of the entire faculty and students are all great accomplishments. I commend KIIT for its work and wish it more success in the future.’
‘In terms of infrastructure, aesthetics and student strength and quality, KIIT is no way less than any international university.’
‘KIIT is comparable to Nalanda, Taxilla and Vikramsila of past.'
‘This institution left me with an impression that our involvement are done absolutely correctly. I am eager to follow the development of KIIT very closely. I am interested to stay in contact with KIIT during the next further years.’
‘Words cannot explain what Samanta has done here. But time will show the powers of a dream. Please keep up with the dream.’
‘It would be our honour and privilege to work together with KIIT in order to empower the young people also in South Africa.’
I am very impressed with the facilities at KISS and KIIT.
"Enthusiasm of faculty and students of KIIT in the area of research is impressive. Work done by Dr. Samanta to establish this institution will take the country forward."
'KIIT has gained a lot of momentum within a short span of time solely due to the vision, commitment and hard work of its Founder, Achyuta Samanta. The university provides excellent facility and has a bright future.'
'I had not heard much about KIIT & KISS before coming here. My perception was that they are small institutions. I'm surprised to see so much work being done here. It takes a century to develop a University. I'm amazed to see such an educational complex developed by such a simple man in such a short span of time.'
'The KIIT is a work of the Divine. It shows what it achieves through its chosen ones. The institution will live to be a tribute to mankind. The sight of tribal children educated in an atmosphere of happiness and confidence was most rewarding.'
'I am most impressed with this great institution. Living in Delhi, I was ignorant of the good work being done here and the good things done in far away eastern India.'
'This institution is really a miracle, amazing and wonder of wonders. I salute Mr. Samanta, who dedicated his entire life for the upliftment of the poor tribals.'
'This is an institute which has grown within such a short span of time. I have seen it grow from strength to strength. Every time I come I see changes on the ladder of excellence. May it bring further glory to itself and to the land of Odisha.'
'It has been a great visit to KIIT. The warmth of the Founder and his associates has been overwhelming. I am very impressed with the facilities and I have no doubt that the law students would benefit greatly from the institution.'
'KIIT and KISS complement rich culture and tradition of Odisha and add to the intellectual wealth of the State.'
‘It is impossible to believe that a young man with the humility that he possesses, Dr. A. Samanta has been able to develop a university of the size and stature that is so impressive.’
'Visiting KIIT and KISS has been an inspiring and exhilarating experience. As an Indian, I am intensely proud of the enormous achievements at KISS.’
‘So much has been achieved in such a short time. All credit to Dr. Samanta and his dedicated staff for their efforts in imparting education to thousands of tribal children and young people and giving them a bright future.
‘It is an experience to remember for the whole life. After visiting KIIT & KISS I was still wondering how it was possible for a man to build such huge projects almost single handedly. It was Dr. Samanta’s dream and vision and now it is real and vibrant. What is being done at KISS for the upliftment and education of the tribal children should be followed by the other states of India.'
‘KIIT and KISS are amazing institutions. This is a harbinger of great things to come in the state of Odisha.
‘The educational campuses created here are a story of idealism and determination of the Founder, Dr. Samanta. I described the campus as a “Nandanvan”. If such education is made available for Adivasi children, the development of the Adivasi communities will become a dream realised. Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) and Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) perfectly compliment each other. Together they provide a unique model of modern education for contemporary India.’
"May this Institute crown all the jewels of the world!."
'It is a wonderful and very inspiring visit to KIIT & KISS. I’m amazed to see how in just 15 years, 17 worldclass Institutions can be build.'
‘KIIT is a beacon of light which is illuminating the world with thought leadership in inclusive education. It is truly a world class campus worthy of a developed country and amazing achievement considering that it has been built without any public funding. KISS is a miracle. It is a shining example of inclusiveness which is critical for India’s long term survival. Dassault Systemes will support KIIT & KISS in their ambitious goals in every possible way.’
‘I was delighted to visit KIIT. The remarkable efforts of Dr. Samanta in developing this campus into a world class institution are commendable. That this has been done in a short period of time is even more remarkable. This effort and the Tribal School that has been set up could be a role model for development of other campuses in the country. My good wishes to KIIT.’
I feel it a rare privilege to visit KIIT which goes to prove my strong belief that one person can make all the deference. What it requires is a strong conviction and a relentless drive to achieve what one believes. I congratulate Dr. Samanta for his vision and the missionary goal which has made the dream come true. It is said seeing is believeing. However, even after seeing, it takes time to believe what has transpired here in a short span of 10 years. I only wish that the movement is carried out with much greater vigor, so that it can make a difference to the lives of thousands of families in this part of the country.
KIIT is an experience. In a short time, KIIT has integrated a number of unique programmes to serve the industry through creation of competent manpower. I was really happy to have this opportunity to visit KIIT.
‘It takes many years to set up successful institutions like KIIT, which actually has been achieved in a very short span of time.’
One of the noblest deeds in today’s India is imparting education. This is the way India can reap demographic dividend out of a youthful society. I am very impressed by the diversity of disciplines KIIT has been able to establish in such a quick time. The quality of infrastructure – whether supporting physical or intellectual development - is of high order. Rural Management, the latest addition to KIIT fraternity, is close to my heart.
“I believe higher education is a state responsibility. However, in India we have bright instances of private initiatives in higher education. Madan Mohan Malviya, who established Banaras Hindu University, Rabindra Nath Tagore, who set up Santiniketan, Syed Ahmad Khan, who set up AMU, and JRD Tata are the most prominent examples. I am happy to see today that with the establishment of a promising university like KIIT, Dr. Achyuta Samanta has joined this league of great men”.
“I am awestruck by the campuses of KIIT, which is comparable to the best institutions of the world. KIIT is beyond imagination and its founder is a living legend. It has bloomed even beyond imagination of its founder in such a short span of time."
'It is rare that a young man has established two great educational institutions like KIIT and KISS in a very short span of time. I appreciate Dr. Samanta that one of the two institutions, KISS, provides complete free education with free boarding and accommodation to poor tribal students, both boys and girls, from kindergarten to postgraduate level. This is a perfect example of cross-subsiding education within the private sector and I hope his examples should be followed by many others.
'I am infused with the institute and the quality of students and faculty.’
‘The social sense of the Founder, Dr. A. Samanta can easily be seen in his efforts to set up a school for the tribal students providing education from KG to PG and also free boarding and lodging, which is being provided by the KIIT establishment. I have never seen such devotion and commitment.’
'KIIT is a novel example on how educational institutions can discharge their accountability and shoulder their corporate social responsibility.'
'I have returned to KIIT after almost five years. What a transformation I have noticed. This has been the most remarkable success story in institution building. It reflects total commitment of the people behind this institution. We need to replicate such models in other states and centers which are not so developed in terms of educational institution infrastructure.’
'There are no words to explain the growth and the great work in education. Such exceptional works are possible by extreme passion and commitment.'
'I am sure the institutions will maintain their reputation and improve upon it in the future under the able guidance of its Founder, Dr. A. Samanta.'
I am delighted to have the opportunity to meet with your excellent faculty members and many enthusiastic and capable students. KIIT is an outstanding institution, providing unique opportunities to educate, train and support its community and the economy of Odisha and India. I am impressed by the facilities and mission of this fine organization.
'I am very impressed of KIIT for taking the great responsibility of the socially underprivileged children to give them a chance for their new life. I appreciate the spirit of the Founder, Dr. A. Samanta.'
KIIT is such a very good university that can provide many subjects to students. KISS is good place for underprivileged people. It gives opportunity, activities, knowledge, skills, jobs and work to these people. The Founder must be credited for such an incredible work.
Very impressed with the University and its facilities. I greatly appreciate KIIT’s commitment towards the community. On behalf of Deakin University, I would like to wish KIIT all the best in future and particularly the great work done through KISS to the tribal community. I had an excellent and refilling experience at KIIT.
I am very impressed about the development of KIIT so quickly and still now developing. I am sure that KIIT should be the best University in India as well as in the whole world.
The impressive features about KIIT are its rate of growth in size and programmes, transparency of governance system, high degree of social commitment and comprehensive nature of academic programme.
I am very impressed by the nice environment created by the Founder of KIIT to promote education in the State of Odisha. Further, I have noted a lot of enthusiasm among the staff and faculty to participate in academic programmes of the university.
A very impressive experience. The sight of engaged children and dedicated teachers, supported with such passion by Dr. Samanta and his team has to be seen to be believed. The learning opportunities for the most disadvantaged at KISS will transform lives not only of children but also change their families and communities. Dr. Samanta’s vision and its translation into reality is a huge contribution to the social development of the state and of the country.
'KIIT & KISS are laboratories of education.'
‘KIIT is a qualitative institution of global standard. I congratulate its founder Dr. Achyuta Samanta.’
