Happy to welcome Ms. Eunsong Kim and Dr. Shraddha Chickerur, representatives from UNESCO, to the KIIT & KISS campus on the occasion of the launch of the Sport and Physical Activity (SAPA) Impact Framework Report for India.

This initiative, developed in collaboration with the UNESCO Regional Office for South Asia, Sports and Society Accelerator (SSA), Victoria University, Australia,and KISS, presents a simple and practical way to understand the impact of sport in our lives. The framework has been developed over one year of study, involving over 2,000 students and alumni, along with interactions with parents, teachers and community members. It focuses on four important areas — Health & Wellbeing, Education & Lifelong Learning, Livelihoods & Economic Growth, and Equality & Social Inclusion.

It was good to see discussions on how sport can be included in education and daily life in a more structured way so that young people can benefit in a meaningful manner.

My good wishes to all the partners and participants for taking this effort forward for the benefit of society.

Happy to welcome the delegation from the University of Washington Bothell to the KIIT & KISS campus as part of the IndiaTrek programme.

The programme has brought 2 faculty members and 8 students, who are spending time on our campus as part of a project-based, credit-bearing international mobility initiative. During their stay, they are engaging in institutional interactions, industry visits and collaborative activities, which help them understand India’s innovation ecosystem, business environment and different ways of learning.

Over the years, more than 1000 students and faculty members from different countries have visited KIIT & KISS under the IndiaTrek programme, and it is always good to see this continued engagement.

I wish them a meaningful and enriching stay at KIIT and KISS.

Happy to welcome a 40 member delegation from the Department of School Education, Ministry of Education and Skills Development, Royal Government of Bhutan, who are visiting the KIIT & KISS campus as part of the India Trek programme.

Over the years, many delegations of teachers and education leaders from Bhutan have visited our campus to understand the KISS model of education and empowerment for tribal children. It is always encouraging to see this continued exchange of ideas in the field of education and social development.

I warmly welcome them to KIIT & KISS and wish them a meaningful and enriching stay with us.
