Good works and good people are always appreciated every time and everywhere. The works of the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) and its founder Dr Achyuta Samanta have been lauded at various forums at different times.
The works of KISS and Dr Samanta were once again appreciated in the Lok Sabha during the question hour on Wednesday.
BJP MP and former Union Minister Rajib Pratap Rudy mentioned KISS and Dr. Samanta by appreciating the works of both while speaking on the country’s preparation for the 2020 Olympics. He said, “Our fellow member from Odisha Dr Samanta is providing free education to 25,000 tribal children. Our parliamentarian friend Dr Samanta has been providing free training to 10,000 tribal students free of cost in various sports and games since last three years.”
The members present in the House supported Rudy by thumping their desks. Later, Dr Samanta met Rudy and thanked him.
Notably on April 7, 2017, Dr Virendra Kumar, senior most BJP MP from Madhya Pradesh, had also appreciated the works of KISS and Dr Samanta in Parliament during a discussion on tribal development.
