Yet again, Dr Achyuta Samanta, Founder of Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) and Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS), has been lauded for his commendable works in the field of social welfare, this time by the prestigious newspaper of the world The Times, london.
Hailing Samanta’s relentless work for empowering the poorest of the poor tribals through education, the daily has carried out a comprehensive report.
Appreciating his love for all religions and his secular attitude, despite being a Hindu, the report has lauded him for creating an ambiance of religious tolerance, good social work through synergisation with formal education. Describing Samanta for being motivated by his own Hindu notion of Seva or service to humanity, The Times has hailed him as a man doing service without expectation of any reward and a follower of Gandhi’s dream of educating tribal children. “It is, indeed, a great honour for any individual to find a place in The Times, london’ being an ordinary human being,” said Samanta while he came to know about it from his friends in london who were euphoric for the fact that with Samanta, the entire State of Odisha in general and Bhubaneswar in particular became more known in the world for a great reason
Samanta has already shared the printing space with many illustrious individuals in the pages of TIME magazine, Reader’s Digest and many other important publications across the world.
