A little over a decade ago, we made a tryst with destiny. We tried to give an identity to the new-born, Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) and by the grace of God, today KIIT has an identity which makes us proud in the realm of education, social service, health services, etc. KIIT as an institution has grown into a class of its own. Such an institution can never belong to anyone individual or any group. It belongs to all those who are associated with it. Each of us, the students, the teachers, the staff members and the people from industry are equal stakeholders of this great centre of excellence.

I am extremely happy that a new school is born which will kindle hopes of my KIITians to realize their legitimate aspiration to join the Civil, Engineering and Judicial Services. I will spare no efforts to ensure that best of academic and logistics facilities are available to students of this school. However your determination and hard work would be the key. As Martin Luther King Jr. had said, “Without hard work, time itself becomes the ally of the forces of social stagnation”.

I wish you the very best in your endeavour for an exciting alternative career in civil services and build leadership quality to pave the path of a New India where legitimate aspiration of the marginalized will get realized through quality education.
