Detachment from 'maya, moh..' : Achyuta Samanta says stay positive

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.
Dr Samanta, a great influencer from distance, opines that staying positive, detachment from 'maya, moh..', integrity and attachment to his work, are the keys to his successful achievements.
The webinar was moderated by the well two well known faces in the education sector Ahlcon Group of Schools Director Dr Ashok Pandey and Vishwas Tripathi, Chairman of United News of India Board of Directors and also the Chairman of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa Chamber of Commerce & Industry (BRICS CCI).
Mr Tripathi has been instrumental in planning modus operandi for imparting good quality in various educational institutions. His areas of expertise includes management consultancy, corporate advisory, audit and taxation, investment planning & business advisory services and business development and establishing business strategies.
With more than 35 years dedicated to education, Dr Pandey is mentoring and coaching young educators, and influencing, inspiring and intellectually stimulating young students.
Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) provides free accommodation, food, healthcare, and education from class 1 to post-graduation with vocational training.
On exploring the possibilities of replicating KISS, a unique educational model across the country, Dr Samanta says his KISS model can be imitated but not him.
Now, KIIT, fully free and fully residential tribal institute, has grown into one of the most promising Universities imparting professional education in the Country with global acclaim having 27,000 students from across the country and abroad.
Dr Samanta, also Lok Sabha Member of Parliament from Kandhamal, says he lost his father at the age of four, before he could know the significance of the world, was pushed into the mire of abject poverty and he grew up with his widowed mother and seven siblings in a remote village in Odisha.
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.
Dr Samanta, a bachelor, says the key to his super success is decentralisation of powers.
''This is no family business. I have faith in my colleagues and have decentralised powers including financial powers,'' he said, although he monitors everything.
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''.
Dr Samanta who has been working 16-18 hours a day for last 30 years, says he never feels tired and ads that spirituality is his source of energy.
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.
He has converted the remote village ‘Kalarabank’, Cuttack into a Smart Village and the entire Manpur Panchayat into a model Panchayat (cluster of villages).
He has already started working to establish 12 branches of KISS in different districts, besides establishing KISS-Delhi for the underprivileged sections of society.
Dr Samanta has been working relentlessly for Zero Poverty, Zero Hunger and Zero Illiteracy.
