Achyuta Samanta - Founder KIIT, KISS & Art of Giving. Achyuta Samanta has single-handedly ushered in an educational revolution of sorts in Odisha.

MUMBAI: At a time when the Budget had the finance minister stressing on providing quality education to tribal children, people can take a cue from Professor Achyuta Samanta, who has been quietly going about the same job for decades now. Over the last quarter of a century, Samanta— founder and mentor of Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT University) and Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences, a fully free, fully residential institute for 27,000 tribal children—has single-handedly ushered in an educational revolution of sorts in Odisha. The successes have been many.

In August, his pet project, Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences, was granted deemed university status by the ministry of human resources development, making it the first exclusively tribal university in the world. The 51-year-old had started both institutes with just Rs 5,000 and from a two-room rented house. A Marwari business house is setting up a school in Puri for poor Brahmin children.

'Kiss Achyuta Samanta Fraud' in Achyuta Samanta | Scoop.it. The idea of KISS | Opinion News, The Indian Express. In a fairy tale, a kiss turned a frog into a prince. Recently, I was fortunate enough to visit KISS (Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences) in Bhubaneswar. Most people have heard of KISS and Achyuta Samanta (the founder of KISS and KIIT — Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology), or should have. While there is a KISS International School with some international students, the core is the regular KISS school and the associated KISS college for higher education.

KISS was started in 1993 with 125 tribal students and some financial support from the ministry of tribal affairs. Today, there are 25,000 tribal students, from 62 poor tribal communities (13 primitive tribal groups). Most, though not all, are from Odisha. But there is a reason for that cap of 25,000. Since there are no doles and handouts from outside, the KISS model works only if there is internal cross-subsidisation. Without KIIT, KISS cannot exist, and that has to do with the innovative way in which the latter is financed.
