Bhubaneswar: On the occasion of the C20 Working Group Summit on Gender Equality and Disability, 3000 girl students from Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) came together to create a stunning logo of C20 at KISS ground.

The two-day summit is being hosted by Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) and KISS.

The human logo formation is based on the idea of ‘One Million Lights’ campaign, which was launched on International Women’s Day on March 8, 2023, to recognise and honour individuals and organisations that have made a significant contribution towards gender equality and women’s empowerment.

Mata Amritanandamayi, the Chair of C20, had invited online nominations for this pan-world event to raise awareness about the subject.

The KISS girls manifested actions of the Upanishad mantra ‘Tamas-oma Jyotirgamaya’, symbolising the light of knowledge removing the darkness of ignorance.

KIIT and KISS Founder Dr Achyuta Samanta welcomed the dignitaries and spoke about how KISS has transformed the lives of 80,000 indigenous tribal students.

“All my students of KISS are like diamonds, and we are shaping their lives with care, dedication, and zeal as I have realised that empowerment through education transforms the life of an individual, especially girls,” he said.

The vice-chairman of Mata Amritanandamayi Math and president of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham-Deemed-to-be-University and Representative of the C20 Chair, Swami Amritaswarupananda Puri, was also present on the occasion.

Members of sub-junior groups from KISS welcomed him with a traditional tribal dance.
