Kalinga Institute Of Social Sciences
Orissa being predominantly a tribal inhabited state, the State Government has set up several tribal schools under the Special Tribal Development Agencies. Ironically, these residential schools have limited facilities to fulfill the aspirations of the various tribal communities. Largely these schools are not accessible to the tribal children in the remote hilly areas and perhaps the prime cause of failure.
Dr. Achyuta Samanta has always been deeply concerned about the poor and negligent tribals in the inaccessible parts of the state who do not have the means to afford education. He was always convinced that only education could improve the quality of life of the tribal children. With this notion, Dr. Samanta decided to set up a learning centre for the tribal children in the state capital in the year 1993 as KIIT Residential Tribal School only focusing on Primary and Secondary Education. In the year 2004, expanded its education programme by adding +2 Science in the tribal school with the name ‘Kalinga School for Socially Challenged’. In the year 2006, the residential tribal school diversified its activities into vocational education and livelihood education for selfsustainability in the educational programme by transforming it to a institute, i.e., Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences with the following reasons:-
- To provide exposure to the tribal children to the civilized world;
- To give them an opportunity to excel their skills within and outside the state;
- To provide a combination of formal education with vocational education;
- To offer a multitude of vocational training courses;
- To provide a choice of livelihood activities for the tribal children
