It is a sacred moment today in your great humanitarian, Dr. Samanta. I would also like to life. This is a time to reflect, introspect and try and understa nd recognise particularly the eminent members of the the meaning and purpose of life. faculty, guests, and, above all, the graduating class of 2012. In so doing, it is only to be expected that you will all come to realise that it is happiness that you want in life, that you seek in I would like to begin by first thanking the University for the life. But you need to go beyond that - beyond that into honour that it has bestowed on me with an Honorary Doctorate understanding what really is happiness, and how does one in Literature. I shall at all time, both in public life as well as in my acquire it, one achieve it. In Bhutan, a country that has been private life, try to ensure that I live to the expectations of the guided by the philosophy of Gross National Happiness, which University that has given me this particular singular honour. is in fact a development paradigm that is based on the belief Thank you very much! that the purpose of development must be to fulfill the single most desire of every human individual. And that is happiness. After what may have seemed like an eternity, the graduating class today has come to the one of the culminating points in Happiness we understa nd to be a condition where one is able to your academic career. Yo u have in this University acquired the balance the needs of the body with those of the mind.

In fact, as I stand here, I wonder whether I am around us are in harmony with us, and all those around us are delaying your celebration. I do not think you are in a mood for a happy. long speech and I will try to be brief. It is an interconnected world in which we live. If people around you are unhappy, you can not be happy.

This is something that the Humility is what opens doors - to opportunity, doors to modern world does not have time for. As we urban ise, as friendship, doors to relationships, doors to advise and our families nuclearise and as we are obsessed with growth and counsel, which we all need.

Thinley became Prime Minister (Lyonchhen) of Bhutan after leading his party, the Bhutan Peace and Prosperity Party or Druk Phuensum Ts hogpa, to victoryJ in Bhutan's first ever national election in March 2008. He represents Nanong Shumar constituency in Pemagatsel, Eastern Bhutan. Before the introduction of democracy in Bhuta n, he served the previous government in various capacities, including as Minister for Foreign Affa irs and Minister for Home and Cultural Affa irs. He also served as Prime Minister from 1998 to 1999 and again from 2003 to 2004, when cabinet ministers held the post on an annual rotational basis.

Born in Bumthang, Bhutan in 1952, Thinley graduated with honors from St. Stephen's College of Delhi University and went on to obtain a master's degree in Public Administration from Pennsylvania State University in 1976. He joined Bhutan Civil Service in 197 4.

Currently he also serves as Chairman of his country's To urism Council, Dzongkha Development Commission, Gross National Happiness Commission, National Environment Commission, Royal Education Council, Ugyen Wa ngchuck Institute of Conservation and Environment; and Patron of National Solid Waste Management Programme. Thin ley has published many essays and papers on a wide ra nge of topics and spoken at several conferences, meetings and seminars. He has addressed the United Nations General Assembly numerous times, spoken at regional summits and other international meetings such as the SMRC, the BIMSTEC and the Non-Aligned Movement as Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Bhutan. He is an International Counselor for the Asia Society, New York; Member of the International Advisory Board of the Netherlands Development Organization; and Chairman of Steering Committee for the International Expert Working Group for the new paradigm to promote well-being and happiness of all life on earth .

As a concerned leader Jigmi Y. Thinley has always advocated for Gross National Happiness (GNH) in measuring progress of any nation, instead of depending on growth in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GOP). He has always looked for happiness for every individual and continues to emphasise on the need for a holistic approach to development. He advocates for equitable and sustainable socio-economic development, judicious use of natural resources, conservation of environment, motivation for developing human relations and good governance. For the happiness of individual, he speaks about health and physical well being, educational attainment, environment resilience, cultural diversity, community vitality, emotional and psychological well being, etc.

A person with such sensibility and sensitivity could not have remained without being rewarded, for which he has received many awards and accolades like Dasho, Red Scarf, Orange Scarf titles, Druk Thuksey and Coronation medals. In 2009, His Majesty the Fifth King of Bhutan awarded Thin ley the Druk Wangyel Medal - the highest civilian decoration­ for excellence in carrying out his duties. That same year, Penn State presented him with the Distinguished Alumni Award, the highest honor the university confers on an outstanding alumnus. In February of this year, Thin ley received the HR Strategic and Iconic Leader Award at the World HRD Congress 2010 in Mumbai, an international initiative dedicated to shaping the future of organizations through talent management and development.

(Achyuta Samanta)

Founder - KilT Bhubaneswar It is indeed a great day - an unprecedented day - in my life for three specific reasons. Firstly, a personal reason, I am deeply touched and honoured for the recognition of my commitment and services to the humanity. Of course I am happy, but I am also humbled, because I am not unique, I am not special. I do my bit for education and human development, but there are many others, who I hope one day will all be recognised.

I should momentously do more to deserve such a rewa rd . But, anyway, this is the greatness of KilT University and its leaders hip that they have recognised my little bit of services to the humanity. The second most important reason is that today we have learnt a lot.

Only one individual, who had lost his father to become deprived of the blessings of his father and who was in a poor fa mily, could change the world with the commitment, dedication, vision and mission. This is a great lesson that you are learning.

That every one of us, if we follow the path, can change the world. We can make the world a better place for human being and we can create such a world through education. So, we will be using, in our future, KilT and KISS as role models. I hope we all will be able to synergise the effort of the dedicated team members of Dr. Sa manta .

And the third reason that I am very very happy is today we make a promise that we all sitting here will be your ambassadors. We will let millions of people know about this place and we would try to maximise the potentiality that we see in this place.

We will definitely try our level best once again to use the opportunities here for the betterment of human being wherever they are. Many others will come and they will know how they ca n utilise the potentiality of this place for the betterment of human beings in other parts of the world. I wish you all the best.

(Achyuta Samanta) Founder- KilT Bhubaneswar First of ali i would like to celebrate 2012 annual convocation of KilT University. I heartily convey our heartfelt congratulations from all my friends in Hanseo University in Korea. I would like to thank esteemed Dr. Sa manta, Founder of KilT University and KISS for giving me such a memorable moment of honour and then KilT University committee members for arranging this ceremony. At the same time I express my congratulations to other honora ble recipients - esteemed Prime Minister of Bhutan, esteemed Education Minister of Afg hanistan and eminent Economist Prof. Mishra.

Despite great distance between India and Korea, 1500 years ago, when today's modern transportation was not available, Korean Buddhist monks noted their observations while travelling through India, which was even then a country with an advanced civilization. In the books they wrote their feelings and thoughts about culture and civilization of the country. Through these books India became known to far distant Korea. Personally when I was a graduate from Medical School in 1965 I had a chance to watch a movie on Mahatma Gandhi. Upon watching this movie, I came to have a lot of interest in India and I began to have lot of respect for this Indian hero and saint.

Historically, India has left outstanding cultural marks upon not just Korea, but also many Asian countries. Buddhism is one of them. Thus, cultural influence by India has a long history of development of human relationship. As is well known there are two types of human relationship - one is positive and the other can be negative. Positive human relationship is a creative one, producing happiness. Negative human relationship is destructive one, causing unhappiness. My relationship with Dr. Sa manta was initiated by esteemed former Indian Am bassador to Korea, Mr. Ta yal and we have shared a very positive relationship for past five years.

Relationship between KilT University in India and Hanseo University in Korea and between Dr. Samanta and myself have developed into successful and positive bond. This much I can say with certainty. I have confidence that our relationship will continue and develop further. This relationship brings hopes of great happiness to the students of the two universities and people of the two countries in general. I have tremendous amount of respect for Founder Dr. Samanta and I personally feel brotherly affectionfor him. His works remind me of the philosophy that Mahatma Gandhi told us about. Just like Mahatma Gandhi, who was the great beacon of India, Dr. Samanta is the light of education as well as philanthropic practice of 21st century. To day I become alumni member of KilT University as a person with love and respect for India and Indian people. And I would like to be a friend of as many Indian people as possible. I would like to shape a successful future by establishing a strong relationship based upon our mutual sincerity. Thank you!

(Achyuta Samanta)

Founder - KilT Bhubaneswar We are very happy that Dr. Achyuta Samanta has been able to conquer not only Odisha, but at the same time throughout Asia. I first of all express my appreciation to Dr. Sa manta for wonderful work that he has done for this University. I am really grateful to the University for conferring this degree on me. I just want to make three observations

The first thing we have to consider that in case of India we have made a lot of progress with regard to education. Only from 30 universities in 1950 -51, we have now more than 500 universities in India. Only from 75 0 colleges then, we have now 24,000 colleges or more. However, our enrolment is much less at 12.1, whereas the world average comes to more than 2 times.

Our population is increasing. India is a 'young' country. More than 60 to 65% of the population is below the age of 35. About 50% population is below the age of 25. They all require education. We have to impart education not only for the purpose of economic development, but for the purpose of increasing the awareness in the country, enlightening the people so that they can be the message of enlightenment to the common man of the country. And, therefore, what is more importa nt now we have to increase the number of colleges and universities.

One attempt has been made here in Odisha by Dr. Achyuta Sa manta. The second thing that I want to emphasise here is there is a need for technical education. We are a traditional country. Science and technology are improving now. To day what is called knowledge; tomorrow it will be called outdated. We have to impart science and technology education so that our people will be updated with differenttypes of skills. We are creating a large number of jobs and new vocations are coming. For these jobs technical education is required. Third thing, which I think is the most important, we have to change not only education, but also quality of education. Yo u will be surprised to know that in case of India a large number of engineers are not getting jobs, because they are unemployable.

Ifyou want to improve the quality of education, then there is a need for improving the type of curriculum, the type of education, the type of teachers so that they would be able to bring out a new change in the educational system. The type of education that we are imparting is only cramming. What you need really is thinking. More emphasis should be given to training of the teachers, so that quality education can be imparted to the students. Thank you very much!

"We have to change not only education, but also quality of education. If you want to improve the quality of education, then there is a need for improving the type of curriculum, the type of education, the type of teachers so that they would be able to bring out a new change in the educational system."

(Achyuta Samanta) Founder- KilT Bhubaneswar Presidential Address by Prof. N. L. Mitra Chancellor KilT University

Convocation is a very special and proud occasion in the life of every students graduating from the University. It has to be borne in mind that your hard work and preparations in years you have spent as a student shall be the key for your success in the profession you choose. All of our graduating students spreading across the country and abroad are the Ambassadors of this University. Your good words about your Alma Mater and efficient service in the endeavor you undertake to pursue shall be a source of strength and a guiding light for hundreds of coming generations in this institution. The trajectory of growth and development of your University has been unique in India, especially in the private sector. The personal interest ta ken by the Founder to provide the best of opportunities in the University has contributed immensely to the development of the campus. Today the campus facility and infrastructure is comparable to the very best available in any other private and public University in the country.

Yo u are launching your career in a challenging economic condition. Country after Country in Europe is facing financial crisis, growth has been consistently negative in the last decade or so and there is an economic whirlpool in which all countries of the world are sucked in. If today Europe is in the whirlpool, there is no guarantee that US 14 trillion economy will remain safe. India therefore can also not remain insulated. At this critical time we have to work harder wherever we are and try to increase our productivity.

At this critical hours too, we have a silver lining in our economy. Our service sector has a very positive sign of growth. Both agricultural and industrial sector have tremendous growth potential. We have a robust60 % of our population, which is effectivework force, while the work force in China is gradually going down due to negative population policy one child policy having ultimately a negative impact. In such a 'down the hill' global economic condition, too, India has the third highest growth rate at present in the world and the growth rate of the last quarter has seen upwa rd trends. I strongly feel that the growth of Indian economy can be firmed up at a much faster and higher rate provided we give importance to agriculture and the agriculturists. Ag riculture requires education at all levels. A few Agricultural Universities can not meet the enormous demand of agriculture. There has to be new planning on agricultural education, I suppose, to provide agricultural education at all levels, primary, secondary, degree and University level.

Agriculture must also have the operation of scale. So why not any modern management technique be designed that would suit our land system? Government of India in 2002 amended the Companies Act and included in it the provision for incorporating producers' company. Similarly, the recent circular of foreign direct investment includes some sector of farming and agriculture also in the foreign direct investment scheme, like, horticulture, sericulture, animal husbandry, and floriculture etc in the list of FDI up to 1 00% under automatic route. The biggest challenge is the uncertainty of monsoon. Presently marketing condition is awfully bad and scarcely regulated. All this require a new understa nding and planning in the agricultural sector.

OKIIT Re vie w Vice Chancellor's Report by Prot P. P. �athur

Ours is a nascent but a very vibrant university. We celebrated its 8th Foundation Day in February last. I am extremely happy to report to you that in such a short span the University has got a very high visibility and has been recognized as an institution that is involved in a very high quality teaching and research. It was very appropriate that the 99th session of the Indian Science Congress Association was hosted in this University from 3-7 January 2012. In conjunction with it the Children's Science Congress and Wo men's Science Congress sessions were also organized very successfu lly. A total of about 1 8,000 delegates from India and about 250 from abroad participated in it. I am not aware of any such a young institution which was entrusted with the task of organizing such a mega event in this country.

The number and quality of faculty have the greatest impact on the performance of an educational institution. We have adopted an extremely effective process to recruit and retain qualified and talented faculty members. In the various schools of the University 253 faculty members have joined during the period of the report, out of them many of them possess Ph. D degrees. Most of these new faculty members have post-doctoral and industry experience.

The faculty members and the research scholars have been able to publish 115 research papers in peer reviewed journals and about 51 papers were presented in national and international conferences by them since the last report. The tremendous progress in the research culture is also evident from the number of research grants received in the last one year. During this year more than 14 research projects from various national and international funding agencies have been sanctioned with a total budget outlay of over Rs. 4 crores. The University has organized several national and international conferences and workshops. The University promotes the culture of research by allowing the faculty members to pursue higher studies. During this year 11 faculty members received Ph.D. degrees from this and other Universities. The University has signed many MoUs, through them students and faculty exchange programs are facilitated. I am happy to inform you that at this time 40 students from Ataturk University, Turkey are in our University for one semester for a Certificate Course. Four of our students attended English Summer Camp 201 2 at National Formosa University, Ta iwa n. The University is also forging new strategic tie-ups with multi-national compa nies like Siemens, EMC2 and Intel for technical training as well as setting up of laboratories.

The University takes its social responsibility very seriously and ensures that no qualified applicant is denied higher education for want of financial resources. We have provided free education to more than 75 0 students many of whom are tribal or hail from socially disadvantaged sections of the society. Free education is given not only to the students in social sciences but also to those in Engineering, Medicine, Law, Nursing, Biotechnology, and Management schools. The University has instituted scholarships and fellowships for non stipendiary M.Te ch. and Ph.D. students.

The University is proud of placing it on record that it has achieved 100% placement for the 2012 passed-out students. In a way it indicates the quality of education provided by the university. During this year 70 companies visited the University out of them 41 were in the core sectors.
