There is no denying of the fact that there has been rapid 

changes in every field and the world is now virtually under the 

grip of the most powerful economic order, which has been 

determining almost everything. In such a situation economic 

power is also determining the higher education. In certain 

ways, higher education continues to remain international 

because economic power blocks no longer want control of 

any government authority. Higher education is now a trillion 

dollar business. The Economic Survey on higher education 

way back in 2003, suggests that the annual fee income alone 

was estimated at $ 30 billion. In such a situation even 

government controlled universities, in order to deal with

signed MoU with more than sixty universities across the 

globe. The primary objective of KilT's internationalization is to 

have a broad based education for all with some ethical values. 

In the process of attracting students from abroad and to send 

its students to overseas, KilT from this year has taken up an 

ambitious plan. Aptly named as KilT Global, this separate 

wing under the independent charge of the Rector would take 

care of all the global activities of the university. In the coming 

days, KilT would be a very important player in the field of 

higher education reaching out to all the countries of the world. 

To begin with KilT Global literally, nearly 60 students from 

Europe are coming to KilT this weekend for almost six months

Educational excellence 

transcending borders ••• 

Each and every university today looks for the global scenario in the field of higher education. 

The rapid changes in every field of knowledge have made the world virtually under the most 

powerful economic order that has come through knowledge. With the growth of information 

technology, the higher education scenario is fast changing. Never before one could get 

information at the press of a button. ICT revolution has changed the way world behaves and 

thinks. Higher education is no longer controlled and regulated by the state alone. Since late 

1990s, the higher education market is growing by 9% per year. Apart from the state, private 

players have entered the education scenario because of which even government Universities 

are now soliciting entry of foreign students. To attract foreign students many Universities have 

tailored their courses to international requirements. 

According to UNESCO Report (2006), the need for international education will increase from 1 .8 million international students 

in 2002 to 7.2 million in 2025. This growth creates huge challenges and opportunities. Though the exact figure cannot be 

estimated with accu racy, yet it is obvious that there would be rise in the prog rammes and institutions across national boundaries. 

In order to meet this rising demands, institutions across the globe have come forward with several plans.

The Association of Indian Universities 

organized a Round Ta ble on 

'Internationalization of Indian Higher 

Education' which discussed the 

mec h a n i s m t o p r omote 

internationalization of Indian Higher 

education. It emphasized the fact that: 

"Internationalization of higher 

education is a fact of life in the new 

knowledge era. It would lead to an 

improvement in the quality of education, 

produce understanding and yield financial 

benefits. It also realized that partnership and 

networking are essential to enrich the teaching 

learning and to improve quality of research." 

Education being a trillion dollar industry, because of the 

liberalization and globalization of the industries more and 

more business houses are now jumping into the business of 

higher education. Despite stiff competition to get a share in 

the ever increasing demand, some universities across the 

globe have started giving importa nce to the quality 

teaching and resea rch, for these universities still believe in 

competition in making their presence felt 

in global arena. 

As a progressive institution, KilT 

University has not been untouched 

by these developments. The 

management of the institution has 

identified internationalization of 

KilT as an important thrust area for 

the next ten years. Starting this 

year, a series of measure are on the 

anvil, including a setting up of a high impact 

'KilT Global' secretariat in the campus to 

coordinate the efforts. 

Global interaction of KilT University is, however, not new. 

Way back in 200 l, KilT was one of the few institutions in the 

State of Odisha to attract foreign students into its various 

academic programmes. In subsequent years, their 

numbers grew steadily. At present student body of KilT 

University has representation from over 20 countries, 

including most of the South Asian nations, proving that 

KilT's reputation as a quality institution of professional 

education transcends borders.

KilT University va l ues the diversity that international students bring to campus in terms of culture, background and perspectives. 

A decade long exposure to international environment has led to the creation of infrastructure and support systems which are the 

most appropriate to welcome foreign students. The University has a proactive International Programme Cell, which provides 

guidance to international students right from their arrival in the institute in the matters of their cultural, legal and academic needs 

and other issues of relevance. Keeping in view the communication needs of the prospective students from South Korea, China, 

Thailand and Japan, the University has established a language lab to improve the communication skills in eight foreign 

languages including English. There is a dedicated hostel for international students with superior amenities. 

Facilities and support services apart, a curriculum tuned to global standard is a major attraction for foreign students. In order to 

maintain such high standard, KilT has roped in faculty and staff members from 13 countries. Besides, international luminaries 

such as Nobel La u reates, Ramon Magsaysay Awardees, Ambassadors, renowned legal and management personalities 

regularly deliver special lectures at KilT University and interact with the students. 

In order to make its presence felt in the global education scenario, KilT University sought membership in various prestigious 

world bodies, accreditation boards and associations like University Mobility Asia and the Pacific (UMAP), Association of 

Commonwealth Universities (ACU) and International Association of Universities (IAU). Each of these bodies have large number 

of member Universities and members benefit from exchange, degree equivalence, fellowship and research gra nts in furthering 

the cause of higher education amongst themselves. KilT's participation in these world bodies has enhanced the credibility of KilT 

as a University. The 400 odd Universities body UMAP has been so impressed by KilT that it decided to have its India Office in KilT 

University.

United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI) 

KilT University has established academic partnership and collaboration with more than 60 world class universities from across 

the world . Though there is specific agreement with individual universities, yet some of the common points are students, faculty & 

research scholar exchange programme, internship fo r UG/PG course, research and development participation, short-term 

courses for faculty & students, short-term occupational training, exchange of publications & information and seminars and 

conferences. As per the arra ngements, KilT students have been reg ularly going to various partner universities. Every year a 

group of students from KilT School of Rural Management goes to Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) , Bangkok as a part of their 

training. 

Similarly, in 20 1 0 two students from School of Ma nagement had been to Czech University of Life Sciences (CULS), one of the 

oldest universities of Europe, where they had been admitted to complete two semesters. Students are encouraged to attend the 

summer schools in partner universities. Recently, five students have been to the National Formosa University, Ta iwan to attend 

the International English Camp there. However, it is not one way traffic from KilT. The university also has been receiving 

exchange students from partner universities. In order to cater to the needs of the students coming from overseas, KilT University 

often conducts customized courses for them. As a part of KilT Global, nearly 60 students from Ataturk University, Tu rkey will be 

arriving in the ca mpus in the second week of August to pursue English certificate course for six months in KilT.

Hon'ble Shri Justice Dipak Mishra, Judge, 

Supreme Court of India at KilT School of Law. 

Hon'ble Shri Justice Dipak Misra, Judge, Supreme Court of India 

delivered a lecture titled "Social Justice, Judicial Activism and Role 

of the Supreme Court of India" in KilT Law School on 281h July 2012. 

The decisions of court are not just being tested on the touch stone of social justice, but 

also cited of as precursors to 'social rights'. The court has pro-actively and vigorously 

taken up the cause of social justice and has gone to the extent of articulating newer 

social rights such as the right to food, right to health, right to education, he said. 

Though there is no legislation to materialize the social rights, the court can instruct for 

the betterment of human justice, if necessary, he said. Quoting the statement of Prof. 

Roski, Prof. S. Radhakrishnan, the former President of India and Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, 

Justice Misra explained social justice in different sectors including PDS system, right to 

health, gender justice and mid-day meal. Giving an example of a case he elaborated, 

"Social justice is not narrow, one-sided or pedantic; it's not confined to industrial 

jurisdiction alone. Rather, it is founded on the basic idea l of socio economic equality 

and the aim is to eliminate the inequities". 

Different social factors influence the course of law or the direction of legal change, 

Justice Misra explained, adding that this is the outcome of personal and social 

interactions which are variable and often unpredictable. At the same time, law may 

itself change social norms in various ways, and thus there is a reciprocal relationship 

between law and society, he said. Law is also as an indicator of the nature of societa l 

complexity and its attendant problems of integration, he added. 

Among others, Dr. A. Samanta, Founder, KilT & KISS and Prof. N. K. Chakrabarty, 

Director, KilT School of Law were also present on the occasion.

know India is rising, leaving behind a thousand years of impoverishment. To the great land of Kalinga, I bow my head, 

and to the magical vision of Dr Achyuta Sa manta, I put in a salute. 

A man's character, I'm told, is shaped in adversity. Growing up, we'd heard about Abraham Lincoln, a gentleman who spent 

his early years inside a single log cabin with his family. His poverty denied him a chance to attend school, and the total amount 

of formal education Lincoln received lasted less than one year. But Lincoln did not forget the lessons during his adversity, and 

that is what eventually shaped his fine, sterling character. He turned every crisis in his life into an opportunity, rose above 

failed business ventures, and political defeats, to one day become the President of the United States of America. He triggered 

the process of uplifting slaves from their fettered existence, and to this day freedom and liberty remain the most abiding and 

cherished dreams of every American. To this day I also hear that he is America's greatest President ever, and I known President 

Obama agrees. As I stand on the soil of Bhubaneswar, I take in a similar powerful story scripted far away from Lincoln's 19' " 

century logcabin days at Kentucky. Here in Odisha, a state rich in history, but with abundance of poverty, I learn about Dr 

Sa manta and how India's most famous citizens have been awed by what they have seen. Institution building with a difference, 

that is what he's achieved. Holding my breath, I hear about him skipping meals and starving during his childhood so that every 

member in the family could have just about enough in their stomachs to survive. Hearing his moving and inspiring story I 

believe that if we count each day by not what we reap, but by what we sow, then life is simpler, and immeasurably better. Dr 

Samanta has been sowing the seeds of Good Karma every single day of his life, and the Universe has found a way for him to 

become who he is today- a legend who has inspiringly dedicated his life to the upliftment of poor, tribal children in Odisha. At 

the same time he has not forgotten the importance of creating a sound revenue model that will allow him to sustain his project 

for the tribals. KilT is the revenue model. KISS is the magic-an inspiring tribal school project. 

I am awed. Dr Samanta could have been just another billionaire in India, with so much money that it would take him several 

lifetimes to spend all his wealth. But he's chosen the road less travelled. He's managed to balance his life beautifully; wealth for 

him is just a means to reach the end. The magic of this man allows dreams to spread. He has managed to spread sunshine and 

joy in the lives of 16,500 underprivileged children, a figure he wants to raise to 2,00,000 soon. The road he's chosen, the one less 

travelled, has made all the difference to the lives of many, and few acts in history are nobler than the act of living for others.

Training Programme on LSE 

LSE Programme in KISS 

India is one of the 'youngest' countries and by the end 

of the decade the average age of an Indian will be 29 

years. Recently released UN Population Fund (UNFPA) 

Report 201 1 estimated that India will overtake China 

in 2025 in terms of population. A nation fu ll of youth is 

a boon to the economy. At the same time, educating 

this generation, keeping it healthy and employed is a 

steep challenge for the country. Directing this huge 

ta lented resource towards productivity needs 

concentrated effort. 

The adolescence, l 1-19 years, is the most crucial and 

formative age for a person. This age group is most 

venerable towards bad practices, risky behaviour and 

experimentation towards unsafe sexual behaviour, 

drugs and crime among others. 

An UNFPA-sponsored training programme on Life Skill Education (LSE) 

was organized by Ka linga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) at KilT 

University for nodal teachers from five tribal district selected for 

implementation of the LSE intervention. Total 350 nodal teachers from

Development, Government of Odisha, KISS and UNFPA decided to 

extend the project to other schools of the state. The project is being 

implemented in KISS since 2009 and the institute is recognized as a 

Resource Centre in Odisha. 

Keeping this in mind for the first time in Odisha, 

Ka linga Institute of Social sciences (KISS) is honing the 

skills of the tribal students through Life Skills Education 

(LSE) and Adolescent Reproductive and Sexual Health 

(ARSH) for helping them deal with the challenges in 

their life effectively. 

Ka linga institute of Social Sciences (KISS) is a 

residential tribal institute for 20,000 tribal children 

which include 5000-6000 adolescents. The institute 

provides a perfect platform for research among 

school and college going adolescents. It has also 

emerged as a resource and research centre for 

imparting life skills to adolescent's boys and girls 

effectively. 

Earlier, environment building workshops were organized in the district 

headquarters for sensitization of key stakeholders which includes the 

District Welfare Officers, PA- ITDAs, DSWOs, Head Masters I 

Headmistress of SSD High Schools, Sub Collectors, ADMs, We lfare 

Extension Officers and UNFPA/UNICEF representatives, etc. Mr. 

Anders Thomsen, Deputy Representative, UNFPA, India, Mr. Sushil

Odisha, Mr. Hemant Dwivedi, SPC-UNFPA, Mr. P.K. Routray, CEO, KISS 

and Dr. Deepa Prasad, SPO-UNFPAgraced the training programme. 

Though the main focus of the program is adolescents from 9 to 19 years 

of age, everybody can benefit from it. The intervention will bring a social 

change in the tribal society, the participants opined. They also praised 

the works done by KISS for the empowerment of tribal children. The 

intervention will reach out to around 20000 adolescents who are from 

backward community and reading in residential high schools of the five 

districts, officio Is informed.

most crucial yet ignored section of the society. 

This is the first project of its type of UNFPA in South 

East Asia and the biggest project of UNFPA for Odisha 

state. The project, which started in 2009, addresses 

tribal adolescents who are highly vulnerable and have 

fewer opportunities to access correct and accurate

"My father was a forest officer so I spent my childhood in 

many forests and sanctuaries of the State. I developed a 

close re lation with nature. The present condition of birds in 

cities is palpable and worsening every year. That is why I 

decided to make a short fi lm on this subject. Many species of 

birds have become extinct and several others are on the verge 

of extinction. The motto of making this short fi lm was to create 

awareness among people about the need to save these little 

creatures. I will be more than happy if my movie impels viewers 

to do something for the welfare of birds and other wildlife," said Satpathy. He believes that 

fi lms are the best medium to spread awareness on wildlife because it gives a voice to voiceless 

creatures. He says that he will make fi lms on wildlife which can help in conservation and he will try 

to Broadcast them on BBC, Discovery and National Geographic channels.

Modern KIMS Diagnostics Lab (Central Lab) Inaugurated 

Diagnostic La boratory (Centra l Lab) of Ka linga Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) was inaugurated on 2" d July, 2012 by Founder, Dr. A. 

Samanta . The laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art high end automated systems to perform pathological, microbiological and 

biochemical tests. The fu lly automated systems allow performance of a large number and variety of tests ra pidly with high degree of 

accuracy. A stringent quality assurance program with both internal and external agencies like, CMC, Ve llore and AIIMS are being 

implemented to ensure accuracy and va lidity of test results. Apart from routine tests, a whole ra nge of new and sophisticated high end tests 

have been introduced for the first time in Odisha, solely for diagnostic purpose. Moreover, tests relating to cancer and cancer therapy like 

immunohistochemistry and tumor markers are being routinely done. Equipment for immunofloroscence, FISH, Cytogenetics and 

electrophoresis (hemoglobin, serum, urine and CSF) have been installed. Most of these facilities were not available in Odisha for 

diagnostic purposes and samples were sent to outside centers. As a result, patients had to bear the agony of high cost and delay in crucial 

diagnosis. Availability of these tests will greatly help such patients. Highly trained manpower have been put in place to operate the 

laboratory and new equipment. 

With these kind of set up, the lab can perform a wide ra nge of tests which include routine biochemistry, hematology, cytology, biopsy, 

immunology, bacteriology, mycology, serology, hormone assay, cancer detection and prognostication, hemoglobin disorder detection, 

genetic disease identification and many more. Further tests like molecular diagnosis, PCR and DNA analysis are planned to be introduced 

in the near future. Keeping the view of public service in mind, the rates of all kinds of tests are kept low in comparison to other contemporary 

labs outside Odisha to help the people the State.

to an ailment not clearly established , was very anxious. The clinical examination of child 

did not reveal any significant fi nding except weak gag reflexes, mild floppiness of neck and 

elevated BP. Arterial blood gas analysis revealed respiratory acidosis with PC02 retention 

which indicated respiratory paralysis. The child was shifted to ICU and immediately 

incubated and mechanical ventilation initiated. Though doctors diagnosed it as a case of 

respiratory failure, exact cause of it was not ascertained. Carefu l history taken from the 

child's uncle revealed that both the mother and the child had ta ken curd which was of one 

week old. Thus Botulism was suspected .

botulism most commonly occurs in temperate regions. The disease occurs if 

improperly preserved food is consumed. It is the most lethal toxin of human 

beings. Just 30mg of toxin can destroy the whole human civilization. But the 

toxin can be destroyed by heating of food during preparation. The toxin, 

liberated from the spores act on the nervous system, leading to paralysis and if 

untreated can lead to death.
