Bhubaneswar: The first international replica of the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) in Bhubaneswar has opened in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
The new campus, known as Daffodil Institute of Social Sciences (DISS), was inaugurated by founder of KIIT-KISS University and Lok Sabha member Achyuta Samanta on Sunday. The residential campus, modelled after KISS, will be a constituent of the Daffodil International University (DIU), the largest university in Bangladesh.
The idea of setting up a campus for the tribal students in Bangladesh took shape during the visit of the founder of DIU Dr Mohammad Sabur Khan to KISS. Inspired by the KISS campus, Dr Khan expressed his desire to set up a residential school for poor children in Bangladesh. Dr Samanta, who has a long-standing association with DIU, committed his support to the new campus.
In the first phase, about 600 students will be admitted to the campus and provided education for free. KISS, on its part, will only extend technical support.
Dr Samanta said he was delighted to see the enthusiasm of Dr Khan, the well-known educationist of Bangladesh, to set up DISS, which is modelled after KISS. Officials of various universities from across the globe participated in the inaugural function.
