Convocation is the most important event in the academic calendar of an educational institution. It is also a major milestone in the life of a student. Graduates of20 12 batch ofKIIT University can take pride in the fact that they were blessed by none other than His Excellency Lyonchhen Jigmi Y Thinley, Hon'ble Prime Minister, The Royal Government of Bhutan on this very significant occasion. Mr. Thinley is a world leader with a difference. At a time when nations of the world are mindlessly pursuing economic advantage, he advocates increasing the happiness content of mankind. Such humane policy, as against mechanical pursuit of wealth, has made Bhutan one of the happiest countries of the world. In his thought provoking Convocation Address, he told the graduates that happiness comes from balancing needs of the body with mind, caring for the environment, preserving fundamental institutions like family and marriage and giving. It is a great honour for KilT University to confer the Degree of D.Litt., Honoris Causa and for KISS to confer 2012 KISS Humanitarian Award on a towering personality like Mr. Thinley. Three more eminent personalities from different parts of the world and India - Mr. Ghulam Farooq Wardak, Hon'ble Minister of Education, Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, Dr. Kee Sun Ham, Hon'ble President, Hanseo University, South Korea and Prof. (Dr.) Baidyanath Mishra, Eminent Economist- were awarded D.Litt. I D.Sc., Honoris Causa at the 8'h Annual Convocation of KIIT University. The last two months witnessed several other important functions in KIIT and KISS. Third YV Chandrachud Memorial Lecture, organized by KilT School of Law, was delivered by Hon'ble Mr. Justice A. K. Patnaik, Judge, Supreme Court of India. Another Judge of the Supreme Court of India, Hon'ble Mrs. Justice Gyan Sudha Misra delivered a seminar lecture on 'Social Justice: Issues & Challenges' at KilT School ofLaw. Mr. Aditya Puri, MD, HDFC Bank graced the Third National Finance Conclave organized by KIIT School of Management. These events are indicative of the fact that KilT and KISS strive for excellence. Contribution of our Founder, Dr. A. Samanta in the field of education and social service was recognized recently by Bhagawan Mahaveer Foundation when it conferred the prestigious 15th Bhagwan Mahaveer Award on him.

Convocation Address By

His Excellency

Lyonchhen Jigmi Y. Thinley Hon'ble Prime Minister

The Royal Government of Bhutan

(9th September 2012 at KilT University) Hon'ble Chancellor, Hon'ble Vice Chancellor, Hon'ble President Ham of Hanseo University, Korea, President of the KilT University and KISS, Madam Bal and the great humanitarian, Dr. Samanta. I would also l ike to recognise particularly the eminent members of the faculty, guests, and, above all, the graduating class of 2012.

I would l i ke to beg i n by fi rst tha nking the U n iversity for the honour that it has bestowed on me with an H onorary Doctorate in Literature. I sha l l at a l l t ime, both in publ ic l ife as wel l as in my private l ife, try to ensure that I l ive to the expectations of the U n iversity that has given me this particu lar s ingu lar honour. Tha n k you very much !

After what may have seemed l i ke an etern ity, the g ra d uati ng class today has come to the one of the c u l m i nati ng points i n you r academic career. You have i n this U n iversity acqu i red the knowledge and sk i l l s that wil l enable you to become successful i n you r l ife. Today is certa i n ly a n occasion for celebration, for j u bi lation . I n fact, as I sta nd here, I wonder whether I am delaying your celebration . I do not thi n k you a re i n a mood for a long speech a n d I w i l l try to be brief.

But as m uch as it is an occasion for j u bi lation a n d celebration, th is is a moment for contemplation, for med itation - as your Cha ncel lor was te l l i n g me. I t is a sacred moment today i n your l ife. This is a t ime to reflect, i ntrospect a n d try and understa nd the meaning a n d pu rpose of l ife.

In so doing, it is o n ly to be expected that you wi l l a l l come to rea l ise that it is happiness that you wa nt in l ife, that you seek i n l ife. B u t you need to go beyond that - beyond that i nto understa nd ing what rea l ly is happiness, and how does one acqu i re it , one achieve it . I n Bhuta n , a country that has been g uided by the ph i losophy of Gross Nationa l Happi ness, which is in fact a development parad igm that is based on the bel ief that the pu rpose of development must be to fulfi l l the s ing le most des i re of every human ind ivid ua l . And that is happi ness.

Happiness we understa nd to be a cond ition where one is able to ba la nce the needs of the body with those of the m i n d . As we try to understa nd happi ness, we d iscover that happiness, i ndeed, is a state of being that one ca n not experience u n less a l l those a round us are in harmony with us, and a l l those a round us a re happy.

It is a n i ntercon nected world in which we l ive. If people a round you a re unha ppy, you ca n not be happy. And the fa mous Buddhist master of I ndia once said that the cause of a l l sufferings is the pursu it of self i nterest (th i n king of oneself on ly) while happi ness a rises when one th inks of others - when you contemplate such thoug hts that you a re inspired i nto th inking a bout servi ng society, serving com m u n ity and bring ing a bo ut change i n the world .

You wi l l a l l be leaders in a very short whi le with the kind of ed ucation that you a re equi pped with . Rather, you a re leaders a l ready. And as leaders you ca n cha nge.

But is there a need to change the worl d ? Defi n itely so. The world is in desperate need of change. For too long humanity has pursued the wrong kind of dreams, the wrong kind of ends. For too long society has been pursuing material prosperity at the cost of everything. Qu ite l i ke what the Chance l lor has mentioned . When I said at the cost of everyth ing, I mea nt at the cost of fa m i ly, friends, the e nviron ment.

We have pursued, under the conventional economic models, continuous and l imitless growth despite the fact that it is a finite world in which we l ive. The resou rces a re l im ited . As human beings with moral conscience we have to understand the natural resources, that are our common heritage, do not belong to us, our generation alone, but the generation unborn as well. And yet, our resou rces a re depleti ng very ra pid ly. What we leave to future generations is someth ing that we shou ld thi n k about, someth ing that shou ld make us feel gu i lty.

So we need to th i n k a bout cha nge. I n the p rocess, what have we become. We have become less of human beings, and we have become absolute economic animals. And our value to society, which in fact has become a marketplace, is in

terms of how much we can consume, how much we can buy and how much we can sell. O u r va lue to society is only as consumerists.

And what has been the resu lt? A m u ltipl icity of ca lamities that we a re experiencing day after day a l l over the worl d . Firstly, we a re beg i n n i n g to experience the hazards of g l oba l warming, c l i mate change. Natu ra l d isasters a re occu rri ng with g reater frequency and mag n itude. New d iseases a re spread ing . Crops a re fa i l i ng . There is food and energy shortage . Com m u n ities a re crumb l ing . Menta l i l l ness has become the most ra pidly spread ing d isease. And su icide is on the rise.

Economic and fi nancia l crisis a re the story of the day a n d we wonder as to whether the current recession that we are going th rough may lead to g lobal depression . Unem ployment is on the rise and cou ld possibly g row. Governments a re fa i l ing people . Confl icts a re o n the rise. And above all, as resources deplete, if we continue with the way we l ive, if we continue to be guided by this obsession with growth, we can only imagine what kind of conflicts will rise and how we will destroy ourselves even as we destroy Earth.

So we need to change. We need to reclaim society from the market forces. We need to become human beings with values. We need to revitalise society, communities and humanity.

''We have become less of human beings, and we have become absolute economic animals. And our value to society, which in fact has become a

marketplace, is in terms of how much we can consume, how much we can

buy and how much we can sell."

I do not wa nt to engage in a long lectu re a n d I wi l l be brief. Let's beg i n by trying to revita l ise society, to recreate society. How do we begi n ? S imple ways - fi rst of a l l , today let's a l l contemplate and th ink of who a re those that made it poss ib le for us to experi ence this ju bi lant day - the day that we g ra d uate from this U n iversity. Who made the sacrifices for us to be able to f ind a d m ission i n this U n iversity and study here? Who have borrowed money so that we could attend this U niversity? Who have worried for us, who have strived for us so that we cou ld succeed i n l ife? Our parents .

Today is the day when we must all remember our parents and commit ourselves to dedicating our l ives to serving our parents. This is something that the modern world does not have time for. As we u rba n ise, as our fa m i l ies n uclea rise and as we a re obsessed with g rowth and success and accumu l ation of wea lth, we have no time to th ink of a nyone else - just ourselves . B ut that does not g ive you happi ness. Beca use as I sa id, in an i ntercon nected world you can not be ha ppy u n less people a round you a re happy.

And so, let's beg i n with o u r fa m i l ies. Let's beg in with our parents. Let's com m it ourselves to dedicati ng our l ives to making our parents happy. I f we ca n do that, i f we a re people who a re prepared to serve a n d dedicate our l ives to the happi ness of our parents, we wi l l be good citizens, we w i l l be g ood members of society, we w i l l be good to our s ib l ings, to our relatives, to our neighbours, to our com m u n ity. And such people wi l l a lso be extremely ca ring when it comes to the environ ment that ena bles us to survive. We wi l l care for our environment as wel l . We wi l l recogn ise that the e nviron ment i n the end is a set of l ife support system . And when the e nviron ment col lapses, we wi l l col lapse, we will die as wel l . Let's become caring citizens and let's begin by caring for our parents.

You a re a l l you ng people a n d in the next yea r, five yea rs and defin itely with i n ten yea rs you wi l l a l l get ma rried - most of you at least. And let's a lso contemplate at this t ime the mea n i ng and pu rpose of marriage. As a very i m portant i nstitut ion, as the bu i ld ing block of society, when marriages col la pse, when ma rriages cru m ble, so wil l society. It is a sacred u nderta k ing . It is not someth ing that you engage i n for one day, or yea r o r two and then decide that it is not worth it.

Please reflect on the importance of marriage and try to preserve and protect this institution; for, in protecting this institution, you wil l preserve and protect the well being of society.

As you e m bark on your ca reers, a lso try to be a person who wi l l

bring change i n the workplace, who wi l l bring mora l ity and ethics i n the workplace. Try to be the person i n the workplace who has understa nd ing, a ppreciation, accom modation a n d tolera nce for a l l you r peers. U ndersta nd and rea l ise that your success must not come at the cost of your peers, of your co­workers. And u ndersta nd that the job is not what ma kes you , it is what you make of the job that wi l l g ive you success i n l ife .

Ta ke i nterest in your job, commit yourself to it. As you ta ke interest and com mit yourself, you wi l l fi nd the job - however sma l l it m ight be, u n i m portant it m ight be when it was fi rst g iven to you - i nteresting . And as you take interest, you wi l l a pply your creativity, you will app ly you r ski l ls , you wil l become i n novative and the job wi l l g row, in terms with its va lue, in terms of its p roductivity, and with that your va lue wi l l grow in the organisation and you wi l l succeed.

Today is the day when you should u n dersta nd the i m portance of h u m i l ity aga in , that your Cha ncel lor has spoken of, even though you may now feel that you have now succeeded a n d you have become h igh ly ed ucated q u a l ified people - g rad u ates. I n fact, today i s the d a y that you m ust contemplate a n d reflect o n the virtues o f h u m i l ity.

Humility is what opens doors - to opportunity, doors to friendship, doors to relationships, doors to advise and counsel, which we all need. You go out with arrogance, and you will be met with arrogance. You be humble and you will find yourself becoming the object of reverence and respect by your colleagues and even by your superiors. Respect is not what you demand, respect is what you g a i n . And humi l ity is the best way to go about doing it.

"What will become of human society will have a lot to do with what becomes of India. And what becomes of India is

in your hands, in your thoughts and, indeed, in your actions. Make India a

country that can lead the world towards a bright and great future."

So these a re some of the th ings that I wou ld l i ke to suggest you consider on this day, that you med itate upon, reflect a n d i ntrospect. And I assure you wi l l succeed i n m a k i n g y o u r l ives happy. You wi l l succeed in causing and creating happiness -with in you r fami ly, with in the com m u n ity and nation as a whole.

You a re citizens of I ndia - a g reat nation, becoming only g reater. The Chancel lor spoke a bo ut how you a re becom i ng g reater ­econom ica l ly, pol itica l l y, soci a l l y, tech nological ly a n d even m i l ita ri ly. What will become of human society will have a lot to do with what becomes of India. And what becomes of India is in your hands, in your thoughts and, indeed, in your actions. Make India a country that can lead the world towards a bright and great future.

I thank you . I wish you a l l the success in l ife.

It is indeed a g reat day - a n unprecedented day - in my l ife for

three specific reasons. Fi rstly, a persona l reason, I am deeply

touched and honoured for the recognition of my

commitment and services to the humanity. Of course I a m

happy, but I a m also h u m bled, beca use I a m not un iq ue, I am not

speci a l . I do my bit for education and human development, but

there a re many others, who I hope one day wil l a l l be recogn ised .

I should momentously do more to deserve such a rewa rd . But,

anyway, this is the g reatness of Ki lT U niversity and its leadership

that they have recognised my l ittle b i t of services to the human ity.

The second most im portant reason is that today we have lea rnt a

lot.

Only one individual, who had lost his father to become

deprived of the blessings of his father and who was in a

poor family, could change the world with the

commitment, dedication, vision and mission. This is a

great lesson that you are learning.

That every one of us, if we fol low the path, ca n change the world .

We can make the world a better place for human being

and we can create such a world through education. So,

we wil l be using, in our future, KilT and KISS as role

models. I hope we a l l wi l l be ab le to synergise the effort of the

dedicated tea m mem bers of Dr. Sa ma nta .

And the third reason that I a m very very ha ppy is today we make

a promise that we all sitting here will be your

ambassadors. We will let mi l l ions of people know about

this place and we would try to maximise the potential ity

that we see in this place.

We wi l l defin ite ly try our level best once again to use the

opportun ities here for the betterment of human being wherever

they a re . Many others w i l l come and they wi l l know how they ca n

uti l ise the potenti a l ity of this p lace for the betterment of h u m a n

beings i n other pa rts o f t h e worl d . I wish you a l l t h e best. I tha n k

you Dr. Sa ma nta for this i n itiative and I tha n k y o u for holding this

occasio n . I express my special thanks to the Government

of India that they have allocated two of their senior-most

managers Mr. Srinivas and Mr. Majumdar for helping

Afghanistan to reform our education system.

First of a l i i wou l d l i ke to celebrate 20 1 2 a n n u a l convocation of K i lT University. I hearti ly convey our hea rtfelt congratulations from a l l my friends i n Ha nseo U niversity in Korea . I wou ld l i ke to tha n k esteemed Dr. Sa ma nta, Founder of Ki lT U n iversity and KISS for giving me such a memora ble moment of honour a n d then Ki lT U n iversity com m ittee members for arra n g i ng this ceremony. At the same t ime I express my con g ratu lations to other honora ble recipients - esteemed Prime M i nister of Bh uta n , esteemed Ed ucation Min ister of Afg han istan and emi nent Economist Prof. Mishra .

Despite g reat d istance between I n d i a a n d Korea, 1 500 yea rs ago, when today's modern tra nsportation was not ava i lab le, Korean Buddh ist monks noted the ir observations whi le trave l l i n g through Ind ia , which was even then a country with a n advanced civi l ization . In the books they wrote their fee l ings and thoug hts a bout cu lture and civi l ization of the cou ntry. Through these books I ndia beca m e known to far d istant Korea . Personally when I was a graduate from Medical School in 1 965 I had a chance to watch a movie on Mahatma Gandhi . Upon watching this movie, I came to have a lot of interest in India and I began to have lot of respect for this Indian hero and saint.

H istorical ly, I ndia has left outstand ing cultura l ma rks u pon not just Korea, but a lso many Asian cou ntries. Buddhism is one of them. Thus, cultura l i nf luence by Ind ia has a long h istory of development of h u m a n relationsh ip . As is wel l known there a re two types of h u m a n relationsh ip - o n e i s positive a n d t h e other c a n b e negative. Positive h u m a n relationsh i p is a creative one, prod ucing happiness. Negative h u m a n re lationship is destructive one, causing u n ha ppi ness. My relationship with Dr. Sa ma nta was i n itiated by esteemed former Ind ian Am bassador to Korea, Mr. Taya l a n d we have shared a very positive re lationship for past five yea rs.

Relationship between KilT University in India and Hanseo University in Korea and between Dr. Samanta and myself have developed into successful and positive bond. This much I can say with certainty. I have confidence that our relationship will continue and develop further. This relationship brings hopes of great happiness to the students of the two universities and people of the two countries in general. I have tremendous amount of respect for Founder Dr. Samanta and I personally feel brotherly affection for him. H is works remind me of the phi losophy that Mahatma Gandhi told us about. Just l ike Mahatma Gandhi, who was the great beacon of India, Dr. Samanta is the l ight of education as well as philanthropic practice of 2 1 st century. Today I become a l u m n i member of K i lT U n iversity as a person with love and respect for I ndia and Ind ian people . And I would l i ke to be a friend of as many Ind ian people as possi b le . I wou ld l i ke to shape a successful future by esta bl ish ing a strong re lationship based upon our m utual s incerity. Tha n k you!

(Achyuta Samanta) Founder - KilT

We a re very happy that Dr. Achyuta Samanta has been ab le to

conquer not only Odisha, but at the sa me time throughout Asi a . I first

of a l l express my appreciation to Dr. Sa ma nta for wonderful work that

he has done for this U nivers ity. I am rea l ly g rateful to the U n iversity for

conferring this degree on me. I j ust wa nt to make three observations

The fi rst th ing we have to consider that in case of India we have

made a lot of progress with regard to education. Only from

30 universities in 1 950 -51 , we have now more than 500

universities in India. Only from 750 colleges then, we have

now 24,000 colleges or more. However, our enrolment is

much less at 1 2.1 , whereas the world average comes to more

than 2 times.

Our population is i ncreasing. I nd ia is a 'young' cou ntry. More tha n 60

to 65% of the population is below the age of 3 5 . About 50%

population is below the age of 25 . They a l l requ ire ed ucation . We

have to i mpart education not on ly for the purpose of economic

development, but for the purpose of increasing the awareness in the

cou ntry, en l ightening the people so that they can be the message of

en l ig htenment to the common man of the cou ntry. And , therefore,

what is more i mporta nt now we have to increase the number of

col leges and u niversities.

One attempt has been made here in Odisha by Dr. Achyuta Sa manta .

The second thing that I wa nt to emphasise here is there is a need for

tech nica l education . We a re a trad it ional cou ntry. Science and

technology a re improving now. Today what is ca l led knowledge;

tomorrow it wi l l be ca l led outdated . We have to impart science

and technology education so that our people will be updated

with different types of skil ls. We a re creating a large number of

jobs and new vocations a re com ing. For these jobs tech nica l

ed ucation is requ i red . Third thing, which I th i n k is the most important,

we have to change not only education, but also qual ity of

education. You wi l l be surprised to know that in case of I nd ia a large

number of engineers a re not getting jobs, beca use they a re

unemploya ble .

If you want to improve the qual ity of education, then there is

a need for improving the type of curriculum, the type of

education, the type of teachers so that they would be able to

bring out a new change in the educational system. The type of

ed ucation that we a re imparting is only cra m m ing. What you need

rea l ly is th i n king . More emphasis should be g iven to training of

the teachers, so that qual ity education can be imparted to

the students. Tha n k you very m uch!

"We have to change not only education, but also quality of education. If you want to improve the quality of education, then there is a need for improving the type of

curriculum, the type of education, the type of teachers so that they would be able to bring out a new change in the educational system."

Presidential Address by Prof. N. L. Mitra Chancellor KilT University Convocation is a very special a n d proud occasion i n the l ife of every students g raduating from the U nivers ity. It has to be borne in mind that your hard work and preparations i n yea rs you have spent as a student sha l l be the key for you r success in the profession you choose . All of our graduating students spreading across the country and abroad are the Ambassadors of this University. Your good words about your Alma Mater and efficient service in the endeavor you undertake to pursue shall be a source of strength and a guiding light for hundreds of coming

generations in this institution. The trajectory of g rowth a n d development o f your U niversity h a s been u n ique i n I nd ia , especia l l y i n the private sector. The person a l interest ta ken by the Fou n der to provide the best of opportun ities in the U niversity has contributed immensely to the development of the campus. Today the campus faci l ity and infrastructure is comparable to the very best avai lable in any other private and public University in the country.

You a re lau nch ing you r career i n a cha l leng ing economic condition . Cou ntry after Cou ntry i n E u rope is fac ing fi na nc ia l crisis, g rowth has been consistently negative i n the last decade or so and there is an economic wh i rlpool in which a l l cou ntries of the world a re sucked i n . If today Europe is in the whirlpool, there is no guarantee that US 14 trillion economy will remain safe. India therefore can also not remain insulated. At this critical time we have to work harder wherever we are and try to increase our productivity.

At th is critica l hours too, we have a si lver l i n i ng i n our economy. Our service sector has a very positive sign of growth.

Both agricultural and industrial sector have tremendous growth potential. We have a robust 6 0% of our population,

which is effective work force, whi le the work force in Ch ina is gradua l ly go ing d own due to n egative popu lation pol icy one ch i ld pol icy hav ing u ltimately a negative impact. I n such a 'down the h i l l ' g lobal economic condition, too, I nd i a has the th i rd h i g hest g rowth rate at present in the world and the g rowth rate of the last q u a rter has seen upwa rd trends. I strongly feel that the growth of Indian economy can be firmed up at a much faster and higher rate provided we give importance to agricu lture and the

agriculturists. Ag riculture req u i res education at a l l levels . A few Agricultura l U n iversities ca n not meet the enormous demand of agricu lture. There has to be new pla n n i n g on agricu ltura l ed ucation , I suppose, to provide a g ricu ltura l ed ucation at a l l levels, prima ry, secondary, degree a n d U niversity leve l .

Agriculture must also have the operation of scale. So w h y not a ny modern management techn ique be des igned that would su it our land system ? Government of India in 2002 amended the Companies Act and included in it the provision for incorporating producers' company. Similarly, the recent circular of foreign direct investment includes some sector of

farming and agricu lture also in the foreign direct investment scheme, l i ke, horticulture, sericulture, a nima l husba n d ry, a n d f loricu lture etc i n t h e l ist o f FD I u p to 1 00% u nder a utomatic route. T h e biggest cha l lenge i s t h e u ncerta i nty o f monsoon . Presently

ma rketi ng cond ition is awfu l l y bad a n d scarcely reg u lated . All this req u i re a n ew u ndersta nd ing a n d pla n n i n g in the agricu ltural sector.

Vice Chancellor's Report by Prot P. P. �athur

Ours i s a nascent but a very vibrant university. We celebrated its 8th Foundation Day in February last. I a m extremely ha ppy t o report to you that i n such a short span the U n iversity has g ot a very h igh visi b i l ity a n d has been recogn ized as an institution that is i nvolved in a very h igh q u a l ity teaching a n d resea rch . It was very a ppropriate that the 99th sess ion of the Ind ian Science Congress Association was hosted in this U n iversity from 3-7 January 2 0 1 2 . In con j u nction with it the Ch i ld ren's Science Congress and Women's Science Congress sessions were a lso organized very successfu l ly. A total of a bout 1 8,000 delegates from I nd ia and a bout 250 from a b road participated in it. I am not aware of any such a young i nstitution which was entrusted with the tas k of o rganiz ing such a mega event i n this cou ntry.

The number and quality of faculty have the greatest impact on the performance of an educational institution. We have adopted an extremely effective process to recruit and retain qualified and talented faculty members. In the various schools of the U n iversity 253 facu lty mem bers have jo ined duri n g the period of the report, out of them many of them possess Ph . D degrees. Most of these new facu lty members have post-doctoral a n d ind ustry experience.

The facu lty mem bers and the research scholars have been ab le to publ ish 1 1 5 research papers i n peer reviewed journa ls and a bout 51 papers were presented i n national and international conferences by them s i nce the last report. The tremendous progress in the research culture is also evident from the number of research grants received in the last one year. During this year more than 1 4 research projects from various national and international funding agencies have been sanctioned with a total budget outlay of over Rs. 4 crores. The U n iversity has organ ized severa l nationa l a n d i nternationa l conferences a n d workshops. The U n iversity promotes the culture of research by a l lowi ng the facu lty mem bers to pursue hig her studies. During this yea r 1 1 facu lty members received P h . D. degrees from this a n d other U n iversities. The University has signed many MoUs, through them students and faculty exchange programs are facil itated. I am happy to inform you that at this time 40 students from Ataturk University, Turkey are in our University for one semester for a Certificate Course. Four of our students attended Eng l ish S u m mer Camp 2 0 1 2 at Nationa l Formosa U n iversity, Ta iwa n . The U n iversity is a lso forg ing n ew strategic tie -ups with m u lti - n ationa l compa nies l i ke Siemens, EMC2 and I ntel for techn ica l tra in ing as well as setting up of laboratories.

The University takes its social responsibi l ity very seriously and ensures that no qualified applicant is denied h igher education for want of financial resources. We have provided free education to more than 750 students many of whom are tribal or hail from socially d isadvantaged sections of the society. Free education is given not only to the students in social sciences but also to those in Engineering, Medicine, Law, Nursing, Biotechnology, and Management schools. The U n iversity has i nstituted scholarships and fel lowsh ips for non sti pend iary M.Tech. and Ph .D. students.

The University is proud of placing it on record that it has achieved 1 00% placement for the 2012 passed-out students. I n a way i t i nd icates the qua l ity o f education provided b y the u n iversity. During th is yea r 70 compan ies visited the U n iversity o ut o f them 4 1 were i n the core sectors.

"Your recognition, Dr. Samanta, of

my efforts to contribute to society

in whatever way I can is

encouraging and inspires me to

continue to serve with optimism

and renewed vigor."

I a m deeply honoured to receive the KISS H u ma n ita ria n Awa rd .

This honour is a cause for deep sense of joy a n d p ride for me a n d

t h e people o f Bhuta n , especia l ly s i nce it comes from a n institute

that has been so successful in rea l is ing its noble h u ma n ita ria n

vision of bring ing the coveted rea l m o f h ig her and excel lent

educatio n with i n the g rasp of the m a rg ina l ised and deprived.

KISS has successfully done what we in Bhutan are

struggling to do - to reduce drop-out rate to zero, to make

our students employable by the time they complete their

college and schools through KISS's unique curriculum of

incorporating vocational training within the formal

education system.

I a m indeed humbled to jo in the ra n ks of emi nent people who a re

gathered here today a n d who have been honoured in particu lar

with th is d istinction by the Ka l inga I nstitute of Socia l Sciences i n the

last fou r yea rs s ince its inception . That this institute and the

award have been founded by one of the greatest

humanitarians of the world today, Dr. Achyuta Sa manta. It

is indeed humbl ing, and at the sa me t ime, a source of g reat pride

and inspiration . Your recognition, Dr. Samanta, of my

efforts to contribute to society in whatever way I can is

encouraging and inspires me to continue to serve with

optimism and renewed vigor. For that I tha n k you .

I wou ld l i ke t o briefly p a y tribute t o a l l those w h o have he l ped me

along the way these many years. My first tribute goes to His

Majesty the Fourth King of Bhutan who introduced the

expression 'Gross National Happiness' as the goal for

Bhutan and guided and inspired me right from my very

first year of service, and who continues to inspires all of

us even today.

My mother and my wife - I tha n k for stand ing by my s ide u nfa i l i ng ly

a n d encoura g i ng a n d supporting me in so many countless ways.

To my col l eag ues, who advised and he lped me. And fi na l ly to the

people of Bh uta n for putting their trust in me and giv ing me the

opportun ity to serve them for the last 38 years. F ina l ly, I offer aga in

my deepest tha n ks to Bh utanese people, to the K ISS , it Founder,

e w

Dr. Sa ma nta , S mt. Saswati Ba l , Pres ident of KISS, S h ri R. N. Dash,

Secreta ry of KISS and a l l who have been i nvolved i n bring ing this

event together and for provid ing hope and inspiration to so ma ny.

May your work f lourish for generations to come a n d may a l l who

a re touched by your work i n turn be of benefit to many i n need of

help and hope.

Whether you are born in rich family or poor family is a

sheer accident - an accident of nature. Whether you are

rich or poor, you are born with same potentials, same

intel l igence. And whether you are rich or poor, you have

dreams. It is no shame to be poor. But what is shameful is

that there are so many children in the world today who do

not receive opportunities to real ise their dreams and to

pursue their dreams. But the good thing is that there are

people like Dr. Samanta, who was born poor but who

pursued his dreams and succeeded. And today he is

g iving to you an exceptional opportunity to realise your

potentials and dreams.

And this you must fulfill. Yes, your Hon'ble MP did say

that your education here - your admission, your food,

your hostel and so on - is all free. But I don't think it is free.

There is a price that you must be prepared to pay. And

that price is what Dr. Samanta expects from all of you. I

th ink, and certa in ly, I wish that you sha re his d rea m , that you share

his vis ion, that you succeed in your stud ies here . Ta ke adva ntage

of the fac i l ities that has been g iven to you here and then engage i n

t h e busi ness o f up l ifti ng your com m u n ities. Not o n l y succeed ing

yourselves, but ensuring that the poo r fa m i l ies that you come from

also get the opportu n ity to rise. That the ch i ldre n that a re born

after you wi l l have the opportun ity and wi l l be inspired by you to

succeed .

It is my prayer that each of you wi l l endeavo u r to pursue the

d reams of D r. Sa ma nta .

Tha n k you very much.

Wa rrior-sa int dedicated to the ca use of education a n d social

Sh ri Alok Jha; a l l officia l s a n d teachers of th is i nstitute; a nd,

above a l l , dea rest g i rls and boys of KISS,

the whole world . My good wishes a re with you .

I wish to tell you that where you are born, in which

family you a re born and in which community you are

born d o not have any impact today. What matters is

how much opportunities you have g ot in life. By g race

of God, your parents have sent you here . You should not nurse

any type of i nferiority complex. You a re fortu nate that you have

come to a very good institute for your education . This is a big

o pportunity for you to be successful i n l ife. You should take fu l l

benefit o f this opportunity.

S kill of work and strong character are very i mportant

for success. This a ppl ies in case of both g i rls and boys; but it is

more sig nificant i n case of g i rls . If a g irl does not have a strong

fa mi ly background, there a re many people at workplace who try

I have visited many ed ucational

i nstitutions d u ring last 1 8-20 yea rs

of my service as J ustice or Ch ief

Sciences (KISS) . I commend Dr.

"Dr. Samanta is tirelessly and selflessly working to give you a better future

without any expectation for himself.

to exp loit her. But if you have a

strong character and there is

quality in your work, no one can

e x p l o i t y o u . T h i s i s m y

'guru mantra' to you. You fol low

this, a n d I am confident that no one

I regard him as modern day Vivekanand."

Samanta, who conceptualised and established this

institute for a better and b right future of tribal boys

and g i rls. I have seen many institutes, but what I am

seeing here today is amazing.

When I was Chief J ustice i n Ra nchi High Court, we fought fo r the

rig hts of g i rl ch i ld through court . I regret that I d id not know at that

time that this type of institute exists here . Had I known it then, I

wou ld have sent many ch i ld re n here for stud ies.

Dr. Samanta maintains a low profile even after d oing

so m uch and achieving so much. This is also a matter

of g reat surprise. These days people do a l ittle, and ta l k b ig .

So much has been done here, but people outside Odisha have

very l ittle awareness about this institute. He is t irelessly and

selflessly working to g ive you a better future without

any expectation for himself. I regard him as modern

day Vivekanand.

I despise show off, a rtificia l g ra ndstand ing and fa lse pride. After

coming here I see that his actions a re in consona nce with h is

words. I a m very g l ad to vis i t th is i nstitute. I pray that reputation of

KISS may spread not on ly in Odisha, but a lso a l l over I nd ia and

ca n stop you from getting ahead.

We have a very good Constitution that g ives us Right

to Equality and Equal Opportunity. If you help

yourself, no one can prevent you from getting ahead

in life. J ust remember two things - quality of work and

performance; and strong character. My good wishes

are with you.

I consider myself lucky that I got a cha nce to vis it th is p lace . It was

a rea l i sation that there a re sti l l people who do what they thi n k a n d

say. If ever you feel that I c a n be o f a n y he lp t o you, d o let me

know. I wa nt to continue to be attached to this i nstitute and look

forwa rd to opportunity to v is i t here many more t imes i n future.

Tha n k you very much!
