New Delhi, Oct 5 (UNI) Founder of Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology and Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) Achyuta Samanta is a man who unleashes potential in others and has no negativity in life.
During a unique knowledge exchange programme 'Opening doors for a new era of Understanding the 'KISS' model Child Education' on Monday, Dr Samanta said he had 'no background, no backing and no banking' when he started off with modest initial seed capital of Rs 5,000 at 25 years of age.

Today, he is a legend, an iconic educationist, an emblem of service to humanity, a beacon of light for social transformation, and a redeemer of the fallen, the oppressed and the marginalised.

The former Rajya Sabha MP stressed on child education. He maintained that 40 per cent of country's spending should be on child education to make strengthen nation's foundation.
'Quality education and life-long learning' are very important, he stressed, adding that 'half education is even more dangerous than illiteracy'.

With huge contributions in the field of education, health, art, culture, literature, rural development, social service and spiritualism his journey in life is not only awe-inspiring but soul-awakening for millions of poverty-stricken youths all over the globe.

Dr Samanta is a visionary social architect who embarked back in 1992 on a social development mission using education as the strategic medium to eradicate poverty and alienation from the surface of the earth, a goal envisaged today by global leaders that goes as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
KIIT also runs a 2000 bedded multispecialty hospital and an attached Medical College. KISS has become the largest Residential Tribal Institute in the World and is home for 50,000 tribal children (30,000 pursing education and 20,000 passed out). Both KIIT and KISS found place in the Limca Book of Records as well as Guinness World Records in many counts.
