Our Founder
Prof. Achyuta Samanta is a visionary educator and statesman who rose from extreme poverty to transform the landscape of education in India. Driven by 'iron will,' he founded KIIT with just $100 and a passion for social change.
His life's work is dedicated to eradicating poverty through education, a mission that birthed both KIIT and KISS, creating a legacy of selflessness and academic excellence.
