16th Convocation of KIIT DU

November 20, 2020 By Achyuta Samanta Leave a Comment

Graduation is not the end, it is just the beginning of one’s career. Every student enrolled in a university waits for the day of graduation – the day of convocation. This day comes after a long interval for each student but for the University, it remains an annual event.

Convocation Day is the reflection of a journey from the achievements of the past to goals to be achieved in future. Like every year, KIIT is holding its Convocation this year as well.

Though it is different from all previous years due to the pandemic, it is our whole-hearted effort to conduct it in the best possible way maintaining the Covid-19 protocols.

The 16th Convocation of KIIT Deemed to be University on 21 November 2020 will be a big day for the University which has grown exponentially in the last 17 years as a University and over 23 years as an institution and for the students and the staff as it marks the beginning of a new journey.

KIIT University has created a place in the global and Indian academic map in a short span of 25 years.

It started with a small seed money of Rs. 5000 (Equivalent to $100) in 1992-93.

It began spreading its wings and became a vibrant educational hub by 1997.

It was KIIT’s commitment to excellence that led to the grant of Deemed to be University status in 2004.

KIIT has the distinction of being the youngest institute of the country to get University status in six years.

Today, the university, comprising 28 schools stands majestically on an area spread of over 25 square kilometers with 23 aesthetically laid out, independent but contiguous campuses offer graduate, post-graduate, doctoral and post-doctoral programmes.

It has been recognised as an ‘Institution of Eminence’ by the Govt. of India. KIIT has been ranked No. 1 among self-financing institutions of the country in the Atal Ranking of Institutions on Innovation Achievements (ARIIA), 2020 of the Ministry of Education, Govt. of India.

KIIT’s Computer Science Faculty has been ranked in the band of 501-600 by The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2021. It is also pertinent to mention that KIIT has been ranked in 601-800 band for its Engineering and Technology streams.

KIIT Deemed to be University is unique as it is a student and parent friendly University. 30000 Students from all over India and 55 countries study here and find a home in the University. 95% of the students are from outside Odisha. It is a multifaceted University with the integration of cultures- a melting point of diversity with glaring unity.

The student friendliness is achieved through vibrant Tutor-Mentor System that puts every student in the individual care of faculties who not only monitor students’ academic performance but also counsel them regularly at a personal level.

The principle of Human touch at KIIT is conducive for the parents. Once they bank their trust on KIIT University by enrolling their wards, the University takes holistic care of them.

KIIT has been maintaining 100% placement of its students consistently since its inception. For KIIT University, students’ wellbeing is the utmost concern.

It has a super-speciality hospital that addresses a wide range of students’ and staff’s health concerns besides catering to the healthcare needs of the public at large.

KIIT has also won The Times Higher Education (THE) Awards Asia 2020 for ‘Workplace of the Year’.

A University is known for its Research and Publications. Besides in-house publications by various schools, the researchers and faculty members of various schools regularly publish their research papers in reputed journals, authored books, got research projects and fellowships to research abroad and on joint projects.

Currently nearly 100 research and consultancy projects funded by various national and international funding agencies with substantial budget outlay. With state-of-the-art facilities and infrastructure progressively developed over the years, KIIT University has become the most sought-after destination for MICE Tourism.

It is the only University in India to have 22 Nobel laureates visiting campus and addressing the students.

Over hundreds of collaborations made with universities far and wide across the globe have been facilitating student and faculty exchanges, research collaborations and membership in international associations for cooperation in raising standards of education around the globe and global visibility with an aim to make KIIT globally acclaimed Centre of Excellence in education, embracing Internationalization of Education.

Dutee Chand, a student of KIIT represented India in the Rio Olympics – 2016 and won 2 silver medals at Asian Games 2018. She is also the first Indian to win Gold in the World University Games 2019.

KIIT student Amiya Mallick is the fastest runner in India. KIIT has huge sports infrastructure and a home to many sporting events. The academic achievements are exemplary.

The Alumni of KIIT are in respectable positions in Corporates, Business, Startups, Education, Jurisdiction, Civil Services and so on.

It is the only University in the world to integrate formal education with social work.

The humane face of KIIT is best illustrated through its protégé – Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS), which provides food, accommodation, health care and education from Kindergarten to Post Graduation to 30,000 underprivileged tribal children absolutely free.

The stakeholders of KIIT support KISS University, the first exclusive tribal University in the world.

KIIT has converted the remote village ‘Kalarabanka’ in Cuttack, Odisha into a model village in 2006 and then consequently to Smart Village in 2016 and the entire Manpur Panchayat into a model Panchayat (cluster of villages) with all city amenities.

There has been peripheral development and growth of full-fledged township around KIIT and KISS. Even during these testing times of Covid-19, KIIT came forward to bolster the fight against virus by reaching out to three lakh distressed people with food, ration and essential supplies, assuring professional education to the children of deceased during COVID–19 in Odisha free of cost, running four standalone COVID hospitals in the state with 1200 beds, taking care of hundreds of orphans during COVID-19 and delivering dry foods with study materials to the 30,000 children of KISS at their doorstep in the hinterlands of Odisha since April 2020.

Thus, the greatest lesson learnt from the journey of KIIT is that of humanity, compassion and innovation. The success of the University from nothing to that of prominence is an example that nothing is impossible.

One can achieve success and maintain it by working hard towards the goal without compromising on ethics, principles and humanity. And in such bleak moments like fighting the virus, history will remember the Class of 2020 not for what the students and youth lost, but for what they changed.

The long arc of history tells us we have every reason to be hopeful.

Interview : Strong determination led me to success: Tapaswini Das

January 7, 2020 By Itishree Mishra Leave a Comment

Bhubaneswar, January 7 (Localwire): Her handicap never deterred her from taking up a big task, and despite being visually impaired Tapaswini Das was determined to achieve her goals.

And success came to her when she cleared the Odisha Civil Service Examination 2018 conducted by the Odisha Public Service Commission (OPSC) with flying colours with a rank of 161.

A native of Bhubaneswar, she is the only child of Krushnapriya Mohanty and Arun Kumar Das.

In an interaction with LocalWire, Tapaswini talked about her strategy for cracking OPSC and challenges.

How challenging was it for you to prepare for the OPSC exams?

Preparing for the exam was not much of a challenge for me because I have pursued my graduation and post-graduation in Political Science as a core subject and History as an elective subject.

For OPSC, my first optional subject was Political Science and the second was History.

However, since I took this exam along with my post-graduation, it was difficult for me to create a balance between OPSC exam and PG semesters.

Being a visually challenged person did you face any difficulties during your preparation?

Nowadays it is very easy to learn, we have access to much technical equipment, and tools like screen reading software, talkback software in android.

So, how much time did you spend to prepare for it?
I spent over 10-12 hours per day.

Did you take any coaching?
I believe in self-preparation and I didn’t have much time to take coaching.

What was your strategy?

Strong determination and patience are required to achieve success.

Generally speaking, a strong determination is required more for working aspirants and aspirants who are pursuing their higher studies.

Hard work is necessary but it should be strategically planned to meet your goal.

No one will stop you from reaching your target if you are determined and optimistic.

Please share some more information about your education.

I lost my vision when I was in class three at DAV Chandrasekharpur.

After that, I did my education in Bhimabhoi School for Blind and completed my intermediate and graduation from Ramadevi Women’s University.

I was the department topper in graduation.

Did you ever have any negative feelings?
I am always positive about my goal.

I believe in myself, which helped me clear the OPSC exam in the first attempt.

Which field will you prefer in the service sector?
I have no such preferences. I would be happy to serve.

There are innumerable cases of rape and molestation in Odisha. What will you do to handle this, If you get a chance to work in this sector?

If I get a chance to handle these situations then I will first work on creating awareness about many policies like one nation, one emergency so that everyone is aware of these problems.

A special hospital should be set specially for rape victims to avoid the negative comments of the people.

Sixteen year old develops early warning system for pest attack on crop

November 19, 2019 By LocalWire 1 Comment

Bhubaneswar, November 19 (LocalWire): Moved by reports of farmers committing suicide because of crop failure, 16-year-old Rishikesh Amit Nayak decided to understand the root of the problem.

Two years later, he has come up with a device that can alert even an uneducated farmer about pest and bacteria attacks in the field and initiate remedial action to save the crop.

“Crop failure has many reasons, but the most common is the pest attack. Once the crop is attacked by pests and the farmer is not able to detect it, it can destroy the entire crop,” Nayak said.


He is a Class XI student at the DAV Public School in Chandrasekharpur, and has already applied for a patent of his device.

The device, which Nayak has named ‘Kishan Know’, was on display at the exhibition for school and college students held here from 17 November to commemorate the birth centenary of legendary scientist Vikram Sarabhai.

The program was jointly organised by ISRO’s Satish Dhawan Space Center SHAR, Sriharikota and a city-based private university.

“My grandfather is a farmer and I have seen him depressed due to failure of the crop. It motivated me to go deep into the problem and find out what could be done,” he said.

Nayak, who took the advice of experts at the Odisha University for Agriculture and Technology (OUAT), said that crop failures are generally caused by excessive rainfall and scarcity of water besides bacterial and fungal attacks.

He focused on bacteria as it accounted for 80 per cent of the crop loss, and developed the device to detect bacteria, fungi, and viruses in crops using the Internet of Things (IoT) to arrive at the micro-level solution.

“The device requires a GSM module, a chip of circuit that can be used to establish communication, and a thermal camera,” he said.

The prototype when developed properly would cost about Rs 1,500, Nayak said adding the farmer would have to move around the field, in the perimeter where the pest attack occurs first, to take the thermal images of the plants.

“A farmer would need to do thermal scanning of the plants twice a day, once in the morning and then in the evening, and send the data to a database for analysis,” he stated.

“If any change is found in the plant temperature it would indicate certain pest or bacteria attack in the field enabling the farmer to undertake remedial measures,” Nayak said.
