In view of the increasing coronavirus infections in the State, the KIIT University has extended a helping hand to the families of the Covid deceased.
Acting on a proposal by KIIT and KISS founder Dr Achyuta Samanta, the KIIT-DU has decided to provide technical and professional education absolutely free of cost to the children of the people died of Covid.
Interested sons and daughters of the Covid deceased can apply to different technical and professional courses of the KIIT-DU, including ITI and Diploma, as per their eligibility for admission. This facility would be available for two academic years, 2020-21 and 2021-22 only, informed the KIIT authorities.
Preference would be given to the children of Covid deceased from BPL, SC, ST and SEBC categories. The move would provide relief to the people who have been made helpless by the pandemic.
The KIIT is the only university in India and abroad to extend such humanitarian gesture to the families of the Covid deceased, claimed authorities.
