Bhubaneswar: ‘Samanta Sandesha’, a regular column featuring the thoughts and inspirational messages of noted educationist, social worker and founder of KIIT and KISS, Dr Achyuta Samanta, has successfully completed 60 days of continuous publication in ‘Vishwavani’, a leading Kannada daily newspaper.

The initiative began after renowned Kannada journalist, writer and Editor of Vishwavani, Vishweshwar Bhat, visited the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) and the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) in Bhubaneswar.

During his visit, Bhat was deeply impressed by the institutions and the vision of their founder, Dr Achyuta Samanta.

After returning to Karnataka, he decided to introduce a regular column in Vishwavani featuring Samanta’s thoughts, ideas and inspirational messages.

Since then, ‘Samanta Sandesha’ has been appearing continuously for the past two months as a regular feature on the newspaper’s front page or other prominent pages.

Over the last 60 days, the column has reportedly gained considerable popularity among Kannada readers across Karnataka.

Readers have appreciated the simplicity and depth of Samanta’s messages. According to feedback received from readers, although the columns are brief, they convey meaningful thoughts and valuable lessons.

The initiative is being described as a distinctive achievement, with the thoughts of an Odia personality being published regularly in a leading daily newspaper of another regional language.

Through ‘Samanta Sandesha’, Dr Samanta’s ideas and perspectives are reaching a wider audience beyond Odisha, particularly among Kannada-speaking readers.

Expressing his gratitude on the completion of 60 days of the column, Dr Achyuta Samanta thanked Vishwavani Editor Vishweshwar Bhat and the entire newspaper team for providing a platform to share his thoughts with readers in Karnataka.
