Campus Konnect - KIIT KISS KIMS

On National Librarians’ Day, my greetings to all the librarians who quietly play such an important role in the education and growth of our students.

I personally value books and libraries very much. That is why, at KIIT, we have always given great importance to libraries across our campuses. All 30 of our campuses have their own libraries and reading rooms, and we also have a very modern Central Library spread over 10,000 sq. metres, with a huge collection of books, journals, e-books and digital resources. Students and researchers can also access many of these resources round the clock. I always want our students to have the best possible facilities to read, learn and gain knowledge.

For me, a library is not only a place where books are kept; it is a place where knowledge grows. Librarians are the people who help our young minds find the right knowledge and develop the habit of reading and learning.

On this day, we also remember Dr S. R. Ranganathan, whose contribution to library sciences in India will always be remembered.

My best wishes to all our librarians at KIIT, KISS and everywhere for the wonderful work they continue to do.

On International Youth Day, my greetings and best wishes to all the young people across the world.

I have spent most of my life among young people, and I have always believed that youth are the greatest strength of any nation. They have energy, dreams, new ideas and the power to bring change. If they get good education, values and the right opportunities, there is nothing they cannot achieve.

My simple message to all my young friends is: dream big, work hard, remain a good human being and use your knowledge for the good of society. Your future is also the future of our nation.

Happy International Youth Day!

The 13th edition of KiiT International School Model United Nations was organised in a very beautiful way this year. I feel very happy to see our young students coming together to discuss important global issues and understand diplomacy, leadership and international relations.

We were very fortunate to have His Excellency Amb. Sujan R. Chinoy, former Ambassador of India to Japan, Mexico and the Marshall Islands, and presently Director General of the Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, grace the occasion. With his long experience in diplomacy, international relations, peace and security, his words were very valuable for our young delegates.

My simple message to the students was: this is the age of knowledge and information. Communication skills and, most importantly, ideas matter a lot. Those who have good ideas grow. A conference like this gives our young people thousands of new ideas. One may come with one idea and leave with thousands. So, I urged them to always focus on developing their communication skills and ideas.

I am very happy to see KiiTIS MUN growing every year and giving our young minds such a meaningful platform to learn, express themselves and understand the world better.

Welcome students 💐💐💐

I feel very happy that nearly 40 international students and faculty members from the City University of New York (CUNY), who are with us as part of our IndiaTrek initiative, joined us in celebrating National Handloom Day in a very special way.

All of them wore handloom kurtas and happily became a part of our tradition. It was beautiful to see young people from different countries respecting and enjoying the rich handloom culture of India and Odisha.

This is what IndiaTrek is all about—bringing people from different parts of the world closer to our culture, traditions and way of life through real experiences.
