BHUBANESWAR, SEP 27
Renowned educationist, philanthropist, and founder of KIIT and KISS, Dr. Achyuta Samanta, was awarded a prestigious fellowship by the Institution of Fire Engineers India at the ongoing international conference and exhibition, “Fire India 2024,” in New Delhi on Friday.
The fellowship was conferred in recognition of Dr. Samanta’s remarkable contributions over three decades in education, health, and social service. His selection for this honour was made by the governing council of the Institution of Fire Engineers in March of this year.
Upon receiving the fellowship, Dr. Samanta expressed his gratitude to the Institution and its Director General, Dr. US Chhillar. This marks Dr. Samanta’s sixth fellowship; he has previously been honoured by five esteemed organisations, including ISTE, CSI, ICA, APSCH, and the Royal Society of Chemistry.
During the event, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) and the Institution of Fire Engineers. As part of this agreement, 100 KISS students will receive fire engineering training from the Institution.
“This is a significant initiative, and many more KISS students will benefit from this MoU,” said Dr. Samanta.
