KISS Parents’ Meet Will Now be Held District-Wise

Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) has decided to organise its annual parents’ meet district-wise for the first time, following a request made by KISS Adivasi Parents’ Association (KAPA) during a preparatory meeting held on Sunday on the KISS campus. Representatives of tribal parents from various districts of Odisha participated in the meeting called by the KISS Parents’ Association.

Every year, lakhs of parents from Odisha and outside the state visit KISS to attend its mega parents’ meet. During the preparatory meeting, members of the Parents’ Association urged KISS Founder Dr. Achyuta Samanta to conduct the event at the district level instead of holding a single large gathering in Bhubaneswar. Dr. Samanta accepted the proposal and announced that district-wise parents’ meetings would be held from December to March.

The announcement was warmly welcomed by the members, who expressed happiness that the event would now take place in every district. They also praised Dr. Samanta for his long-standing commitment to tribal development. Starting at the age of 25, Dr. Samanta has devoted 33 years to the upliftment of tribal communities through education, sports and various welfare initiatives, helping KISS grow into a major people’s movement.

Members of KAPA described Dr. Samanta as a visionary leader and a guiding force for tribal development, recalling that he stepped forward for the cause in 1992–93 when few others paid attention to tribal issues. They noted that he has never burdened any tribal parent with concerns about KISS, which has earned him their unwavering trust. Members also expressed joy after learning that KISS will soon open a branch in Keonjhar district, after Kalahandi, Balangir, Balasore and Mayurbhanj.

Among those present were Rajya Sabha MP and tribal leader Niranjan Bishi, KAPA Secretary Lambodar Singh, President Ram Sabar, member Paramananda Majhi, KISS CEO Dr. Prashanta Kumar Rautaray and Additional CEO Pramod Patra.

The Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) Deemed to be University, commemorated the 121st birth anniversary of Pandit Raghunath Murmu alongside the centennial celebration of the OlChiki script on 12th May 2025. This momentous occasion was jointly organized by the Pandit Raghunath Murmu Research Chair, the Department of Santali, and the School of Comparative Tribal Languages and Literatures, in collaboration with the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) of KISS-DU.

The Inaugural Ceremony commenced with garlanding of the statue of Pandit Raghunath Murmu instituted in the premises of KISS-DU. The Founder of KISS, KIIT and KIMS, Dr. Achyuta Samanta, blessed all the attendees and expressed his appreciation for the initiative. In his deliberation, he proposed developing a roadmap for celebrating the centenary year of OlChiki script.

Following the garlanding ceremony, "KUNAMI" a journal in Santal language was unveiled in the presence of the Founder. The publication is a commendable step in protecting, promoting and preserving Santali language and culture and marks the centenary year of OlChiki script and pays tribute to the contributions of Pandit Raghunath Murmu. A special mention of Mr. Raju Mardi, a Santali research scholar, was made, for his article on Dr. Achyuta Samanta, wherein he has written about the life, works and contributions of Dr. Samanta towards the growth and development of indigenous people.

The celebration was followed by a conference, wherein Professor Debasish Bandyopadhyay, Vice Chancellor, KISS-DU highlighted his long-standing connection with the Santal community, recalling his experiences as Dean of the Language and Literature Department at Vidyasagar University in West Bengal. He emphasized the rich cultural heritage of the Santal people and commended the Santali language for its unique characteristics. Professor Bandyopadhyay also stressed on the dire need for researching on scripts of indigenous languages.

In his address, Dr. Prashanta Kumar Routray, Registrar, KISS-DU spoke on the objectives behind the establishment of the Pandit Raghunath Murmu Research Chair at KISS-DU. He said that the Research Chair would encourage more scholars to explore the tribal culture and the freedom struggle of Adivasi leaders, particularly the Santali people. While appreciating the recognition received by the Santali language, he added that the inclusion of the language in UPSC examinations is a significant achievement. Furthermore, Dr. Routray expressed the need for Santali scholars to expand their research into other freedom fighters and their contributions.

Speaking in turn, Mr. Kadey Soren, Assistant Professor and Dy. Director Academics spoke about Pandit Raghunath Murmu's early life and his determination to create the OlChiki script. He emphasized how the invention of the script was an essential step in providing the Santali people with a written form of their language, giving them an invaluable cultural and linguistic identity.

Dr. Naran Tudu, Head of the Santali Department and Research Chair, gave an insightful speech on the significance of the day. He highlighted the importance of the birth anniversary of Pandit Raghunath Murmu and the centenary of the OlChiki script in shaping the Santali cultural identity. The event also witnessed multilingual deliberations by the research scholars in Santali, Odia, Sanskrit and English. These multilingual speeches were a testament to the diversity and richness of the cultural fabric of India.

Dr. Dhanu Murmu, Assistant Professor, Department of Santali proposed a vote of thanks.

Proud moment for all of us as our girls receive well-deserved recognition from the Sports Department, Government of Odisha! 🏅👏

Their hard work, discipline, and spirit continue to inspire—and so does the support behind them. Here's to more milestones ahead!

What started as a small idea in my mind—Chhilkaw, a celebration of our rich cultural heritage—came to life in the most beautiful way. This wouldn’t have been possible without the wholehearted support and encouragement of Dr. Achyuta Samanta, whose belief in preserving traditions truly inspired me.

Cultural events like Chhilkaw go far beyond performances of dance and song. They are about passing down rituals, stories, and traditions to the younger generation—ensuring our roots remain strong and alive.

Grateful to everyone who made this journey so meaningful. Let’s continue to keep our culture vibrant and thriving! ❤️

Pandit Raghunath Murmu gifted the world the Ol Chiki script, the written form of the Santali language, preserving the voice, culture, and heritage of the Santali people. 🖋️📜

💯 This year, 2025, marks the 100th anniversary of this incredible achievement — a century since Ol Chiki was first written down!

Let’s honor the legacy of Pandit Raghunath Murmu and celebrate the rich linguistic and cultural heritage of the Santali community. 🙌🏽🌍
