(9th September 2012 at KilT University)
Hon'ble Chancellor, Hon'ble Vice Chancellor, Hon'ble But as m uch as it is an occasion for j u bi lation a n d celebrati o n ,
President Ham of Hanseo University, Korea, President t h i s is a moment f o r conte m p lation, f o r med itation - as y o u r
of the KilT U niversity and KISS, Madam Bal and the Cha ncellor w a s tel l i n g m e . I t is a sacred moment today i n y o u r

faculty, guests, and, above all, the graduating class of
2012.
In so d o i n g , it is o n ly to be expected that you wi l l a l l come to
rea l ise that it is h a p p i n ess that you wa nt in l ife, that you seek i n
I w o u l d l i ke t o beg i n b y fi rst tha n k i n g t h e U n iversity for the
l ife. B u t you need to go beyond that - beyond that i nto
honour that it has bestowed o n me with an H onorary Doctorate
u n d e rsta n d i ng what rea l ly is h a p p iness, a n d how does one
in Literature. I s h a l l at a l l time, both in public l ife as well as in my
a cq u i re it, o n e achieve it. I n B h u ta n , a country that has been
private l ife, try to ensu re that I l ive to the expectations of the
g uided by the p h i l osophy of Gross Nation a l H a p p i ness, which
U n iversity that has given me this partic u l a r s i n g u l a r h o n o u r.
is in fact a deve l o pment p a rad i g m that is based o n the bel ief
Tha n k you very m u c h !
that the pu rpose of deve l o pment m u st be to fulfi l l the s i n g l e

After w h a t m a y have seemed l i ke a n etern ity, t h e g ra d uati n g

H a p p i n ess we u n d e rsta n d to be a cond ition where o n e is able to

to u n d e rsta n d happi ness, we d iscover that h a p p i ness, i ndeed, is
i n you r l ife. Today is certa i n ly a n occasion for celebration, for
a state of being that one ca n not experience u n less a l l those
j u bi latio n . I n fact, as I sta nd here, I wonder whethe r I am
a round us a re in h a rm o n y with us, and a l l those a round us a re
delaying your celebrati o n . I do not thi n k you a re i n a mood for a
h a p py.
long speech a n d I w i l l try to be brief.
It is a n i ntercon nected world in which we l ive. If people a round you
a re u n h a ppy, you ca n not be h a p py. And the fa mous B u d d h ist
master of I ndia o n ce said that the cause of a l l sufferings is the
p u rs u it of self i nterest (th i n ki n g of oneself o n ly) while h a p p i ness
a rises when one t h i n ks of others - when you conte m plate such
thoug hts that you a re inspired i nto t h i n king a bout servi n g society,
serving com m u n ity a n d bri n g i ng a bo ut c h a n g e i n the world .
You w i l l a l l be leaders in a very short w h i l e with the kind of
ed ucation that you a re e q u i pped with . Rather, you a re leaders
a l ready. And as leaders you ca n cha n g e .
But is there a n e e d t o c h a n g e the worl d ? Defi n itely so.
The world
is in desperate need of change. For too long hu manity has
pursued the wrong kind of d reams, the wrong kind of
ends. For too long society has been pursu ing material
prosperity at the cost of everything. Qu ite l i ke what the
Chance l l o r has mentioned . When I said at the cost of everyth i n g , I
mea nt at the cost of fa m i ly, friends, the e nviron ment.
We have pursued, under the conventional economic
models, continuous and limitless growth despite the fact
that it is a finite world in which we live. The resou rces a re
l i m ited . As human beings with moral conscience we have
to understand the natural resources, that are our
common heritage, do not belong to us, our generation
alone, but the generation unborn as well. And yet, o u r
resou rces a re depleti ng very ra pid ly. W h a t w e leave t o fut u re
g e nerations is someth i n g that we s h o u l d thi n k about, someth i n g
that s h o u l d m a ke us feel g u i lty.
So we need to th i n k a bout cha n g e . I n the p rocess, what have we
beco m e .
We have become less of human beings, and we
have become absolute economic animals. And our value
to society, which in fact has become a marketplace, is in
terms of how much we can consume, how much we can
buy and how much we can sell. O u r va l u e to society is only as
consumerists.
And what has been the resu lt? A m u ltipl icity of ca l a m ities that we
a re experiencing day after day a l l over the worl d . Firstly, we a re
beg i n n i n g to experience the hazards of g l oba l warming, c l i mate
c h a n g e . Natu ra l d isasters a re occu rri ng with g reater frequency
a n d mag n itude. N ew d iseases a re spread i n g . Crops a re fa i l i n g .
There is food a n d energy shortag e . Com m u n ities a re c ru m b l i n g .
Menta l i l l ness h a s become t h e most ra pidly s p rea d i n g d isease.
And su icide is o n the rise.
Economic and fi n a n c i a l crisis a re the story of the day a n d we
wonder as to whethe r the current recessi o n that we a re g o i n g
th ro u g h may lead t o g l o b a l d epression . Unem ployment is on the
rise and cou l d possibly g row. Governments a re fa i l i n g peo p l e .
Confl icts a re o n t h e rise. And above all, as resources deplete,
if we continue with the way we live, if we continue to be
guided by this obsession with g rowth, we can only
imag i ne what kind of conflicts will rise and how we will
destroy ourselves even as we destroy Earth.
So we need to c h a n g e . We need to reclaim society from the
market forces. We need to become human bei ngs with
values. We need to revitalise society, communities and
humanity.

''We have become less of human
beings, and we have become absolute
economic animals. And our value to
society, which in fact has become a
marketplace, is in terms of how much
we can consume, how much we can
buy and how much we can sell."
I do not wa nt to engage in a long lectu re a n d I w i l l be brief. Let's
beg i n by trying to revita l ise society, to recreate society. How do
we begi n ? S i m p l e ways - fi rst of all, today let's all conte m plate
and t h i n k of who a re those that made it poss i b l e for us to
experi ence this j u b i l a nt day - the day that we g ra d uate from this
U n iversity. Who made the sacrifices for us to be able to find
a d m ission i n this U n iversity a n d study here? Who have
borrowed money so that we could attend this U niversity? Who
have worried for us, who have strived for us so that we cou l d
succeed i n l ife? O u r parents .
Today is the day when we must all remember our
parents and commit ourselves to dedicating our lives
to serving our parents. This is something that the
modern world does not have time for. As we u rba n ise, as
our fa m i l ies n uclea rise and as we a re obsessed with g rowth and
success a n d a cc u m u l ation of wea lth, we have no time to t h i n k
o f a nyone else - j u st o u rselves . B ut that d o e s not g ive you
h a p p i ness. Beca use as I sa i d , in an i ntercon nected world you
can not be ha ppy u n less people a ro u n d you a re h a p py.
And so, let's beg i n with o u r fa m i l ies. Let's beg in with o u r p a rents.
Let's com m it o u rselves to dedicati ng our l ives to m a k i n g o u r
p a rents h a p py. I f w e ca n do that, i f w e a re people w h o a re
prepared to serve a n d dedicate o u r l ives to the happi ness of o u r
p a rents, w e w i l l b e good citizens, w e w i l l b e g ood members of
society, we w i l l be good to o u r siblings, to o u r relatives, to o u r
n e i g h b o u rs, t o o u r com m u n ity. And s u c h people wi l l a lso be
extremely ca ring when it comes to the enviro n ment that e n a bles
us to s u rvive. We w i l l care for our enviro n m e nt as wel l . We will
recogn ise that the e nviro n ment i n the end is a set of l ife support
system . And when the e nviro n ment col l a pses, we w i l l col l a pse,
we will die a s wel l .
Let's become caring citizens and let's
begin by caring for our parents.
You a re a l l you ng people a n d in the next yea r, five yea rs a n d
defin itely with i n t e n yea rs y o u wi l l a l l get m a rried - most o f you at
least. And let's a lso conte m p late at this time the mea n i ng and
pu rpose of m a rriage. As a very i m portant i nstitution, a s the
b u i l d i ng block of society, when m a rriages colla pse, when
ma rriages cru m ble, so will society. It is a sacred u nd erta k i n g . It
is not someth i n g that you engage i n for one day, or yea r o r two
a n d then decide that it is not worth it.
Please reflect on the importance of marriage and try to
preserve and protect this institution; for, in protecting
this institution, you will preserve and protect the well
being of society.
As you e m bark on your ca reers, a lso try to be a person who will
bring c h a n g e i n the workplace, who w i l l bri n g mora l ity and
ethics i n the workplace. Try to be the person i n the workplace
who has u n d e rsta n d i n g , a ppreciation, accom modation a n d
tolera nce for a l l you r peers. U nd ersta nd a n d rea l ise that your
success must not come at the cost of your peers, of your co
workers. And u ndersta nd that the job is not what m a kes you , it is
what you m a ke of the job that wi l l g ive you success i n l ife .
Ta ke i nterest in your job, commit yourself to it. As you ta ke
interest a n d com mit yourself, you w i l l fi n d the job - however
sma l l it m i g ht be, u n i m portant it m i g ht be when it was fi rst g iven
to you - i nteresting . And as you take interest, you w i l l a pply your
creativity, you will a p p l y you r ski l ls, you will become i n novative
and the job w i l l g row, in terms with its va l u e , in terms of its
p roductivity, and with that your va l u e w i l l g row in the
org a nisation and you wi l l succee d .
Today is t h e day w h e n y o u s h o u l d u n dersta nd t h e i m portance of
h u m i l ity a g a i n , that your Cha ncellor has spoken of, even
though you may now feel that you have now succeeded a n d you
have become h i g h ly ed ucated q u a l ified people - g rad u ates. I n
fact, today i s the d a y that you m ust conte m plate a n d reflect o n
the virtues o f h u m i l ity.
Humility is what opens doors - to opportunity, doors to
friendship, doors to relationships, doors to advise and
counsel, which we all need. You go out with arrogance,
and you will be met with arrogance. You be humble and
you will find yourself becoming the object of reverence
and respect by your colleagues and even by your
superiors. Respect is not what you d e m a n d , respect is what
you g a i n . And h u m i l ity is the best way to go a bout d o i n g it.
"What will become of human society
will have a lot to do with what becomes
of India. And what becomes of India is
in your hands, in your thoughts and,
indeed, in your actions. Make India a
country that can lead the world
towards a bright and great future."
So these a re some of the th i n g s that I wou l d l i ke to suggest you
consider o n this day, that you med itate upon, reflect a n d
i ntrospect. And I assure you w i l l succeed i n m a k i n g y o u r l ives
h a p py. You w i l l succeed in causing a n d creating h a p p iness -
with i n you r fa m i l y, with i n the com m u n ity a n d nation as a whole.
You a re citizens of I ndia - a g reat nati o n , beco m i n g o n l y g reater.
The C h a n cel lor spoke a bo ut how you a re becom i ng g reate r
econom ica l ly, pol itica l l y, soci a l l y, tech nologically a n d even
m i l ita ri ly. What will become of hu man society will have a
lot to do with what becomes of India. And what
becomes of India is in your hands, in your thoughts
and, indeed, in your actions. Make India a country that

 It is i n d eed a g reat day - a n u n p recedented day - in my l ife for
three specific reasons. Fi rstly, a person a l reason,
I am deeply
touched and honou red for the recognition of my
commitment and services to the humanity. Of course I a m
h a p py, but I a m also h u m bled, beca use I a m not u n i q ue, I a m not
speci a l . I do my bit for educatio n and h u m a n deve l o p m ent, but
there a re m a ny others, who I hope o n e day will a l l be recogn ised .

I s h o u l d momentously do more to deserve such a rewa rd . But,

a n yway, this is the g reatness of KilT U niversity a n d its leadersh i p
that they h a v e reco g n i sed my l ittle b i t o f services t o t h e h u m a n ity.
The secon d most im portant reason is that today we have lea rnt 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 m i ly, could ch ange 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 fol low the path, ca n change the worl d .
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 a l l w i l l be a b l e to synergise the effort of the
dedicated tea m mem bers of D r. Sa ma nta .

And the third reason that I a m very very ha ppy is today we make
a promise that we all sitting here will be your
ambassadors. We will let mill ions of people know about
this place and we would try to maxim ise the potential ity
that we see in this place.

We w i l l defin itely try o u r level best o n ce a g a i n to use the

opport u n ities here for the betterment of h u m a n being wherever
they a re . Many others w i l l come and they wi l l know how they ca n
uti l ise the potenti a l ity of this place for the betterment of h u m a n
beings i n other pa rts o f t h e worl d . I wish you a l l t h e best. I tha n k
you Dr. Sa m a nta for this i nitiative a n d I tha n k y o u for h ol di n g this
occasio n .
I express my special thanks to the Government
of India that they have allocated two of their senior-most
managers Mr. Srinivas and Mr. Majumdar for helping
Afghanistan to reform our education system.

 First of a l i i wou l d l i ke to celebrate 20 1 2 a n n u a l convocation of K i l T
University. I heartily convey o u r hea rtfelt congratulations from a l l m y
friends i n H a nseo U niversity in Korea . I wou l d l i ke t o tha n k esteemed
Dr. Sa m a nta, Founder of KilT U n iversity a n d KISS for givi n g me such a
memora ble m o ment of honour a n d then KilT U n iversity com m ittee
members for a rra n g i ng this ceremony. At the same time I express my
con g ratu lations to other honora ble recipients - esteemed Prime
M i nister of Bh uta n , esteemed Ed ucation M i n ister of Afg h a n istan a n d
e m i nent Econ o mist Prof. Mishra .

Despite g reat d istance between I n d i a a n d Korea, 1 500 yea rs ago,

when today's modern tra nsportation was not ava i l a b l e , Kore a n
B u d d h ist m o n ks noted t h e i r observations w h i l e trave l l i n g thro u g h
I n d i a , which was even then a country with a n advanced civil ization . I n
the books they wrote their fee l i ng s a n d thoug hts a bout cu lture a n d
civil ization o f t h e cou ntry. Thro u g h these books I ndia beca m e known
to far d istant Korea .Personally when I was a g raduate from
Med ical School in 1 965 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.

H istorical ly, I ndia has left outsta n d i n g cult u ra l m a rks u pon not just
Korea, but a l so many Asi a n cou ntries. B u d d h ism is o n e of them. Thus,
cultura l i nfluence by I n d ia has a l o n g history of development of
h u m a n relationsh i p . As is well known there a re two types of h u m a n
relationsh ip - o n e i s positive a n d t h e other c a n b e negative. Positive
h u m a n relation sh i p is a creative one, prod ucing h a p p i n ess. Negative
h u m a n relationshi p is destructive one, causing u n ha ppi ness. My
relationshi p with Dr. Sa m a nta was i n itiated by esteemed former I n d i a n
Am bassador t o Korea, Mr. Taya l a n d w e have shared a very positive
relationshi p for past five yea rs.

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
relations hip will continue and develop further. This
relationship brings hopes of g reat 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 affection for him.
H is works remind me of the philosophy that Mahatma
Gand hi told us about. J ust like Mahatma Gandhi, who was
the great beacon of India, Dr. Samanta is the light of
education as well as philanthropic practice of 2 1 st century.
Today I become a l u m n i m e m be r of K i l T U n iversity a s a person with
love a n d respect for I ndia a n d I n d i a n peo p l e . And I would l i ke to be a
friend of as m a n y I n d i a n people as possi ble. I wou l d l i ke to shape a
successful future by esta blishing a stron g relationshi p based u pon o u r
m utual sincerity. Tha n k you!

 We a re very happy that D r. Achyuta S a m a nta has been a b l e to
conquer not only Odisha, but at the sa me time thro u g h out Asi a . I first
of a l l express my appreciation to D r. Sa ma nta for wonderful work that
he has done for this U niversity. I am rea l ly g rateful to the U n iversity for
conferring this degree on me. I j u st wa nt to m a ke three observations

The fi rst 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 1 950 -51 , we have now more than 500
universities in India. Only from 750 colleges then, we have
now 24,000 colleges or more. However, our enrolment is
much less at 1 2.1 , whereas the world average comes to more
than 2 times.

Our pop u l ation is i ncreasing. I nd i a is a 'young' cou ntry. More tha n 60

to 65% of the pop u l ation is below the a g e of 3 5 . About 50%
pop u l ation is below the age of 2 5 . They a l l req u ire ed ucation . We
have to i mpart education not o n l y for the purpose of economic
development, but for the purpose of increasing the awareness in the
cou ntry, e n l i g hten i n g the people so that they can be the message of
e n l i g htenment to the common m a n of the cou ntry. And , therefore,
what is more i mporta nt now we have to i n c rease the n u m ber of
colleges a n d u niversities.

One attempt has been made here in Odisha by D r. Achyuta Sa m a nta .

The second thing that I wa nt to emphasise here is there is a need for
tech nica l education . We a re a tra d itional cou ntry. Science a n d
technology a re improving now. Today w h a t is ca l l ed knowledge;
tomorrow it will be ca l l ed outdate d .
We have to impart science
and technology education so that our people will be updated
with different types of skills. We a re creating a l a rg e n u m be r of
jobs a n d new vocations a re com in g . For these jobs tech nica l
ed ucation is req u i red . Third thing, which I th i n k is the most important,
we have to change not only education, but also qual ity of
education. You w i l l be surprised to know that in case of I nd i a a l a rge
n u m be r of e n g i n eers a re not getting jobs, beca use they a re
unemploya b l e .

If you want to improve the qual ity 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
ed ucation that we a re imparting is only cra m m ing. What you need
rea l ly is thi n ki n g . More emphasis should be g iven to training of
the teachers, so that qual ity education can be imparted to
the students. Tha n k you very m uch!

"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."

KilT University
Convocatio n is a very special a n d proud occasion i n the l ife of
every students g ra d u ating from the U niversity. It has to be borne
in mind that your h a rd work and preparations i n yea rs you have
spent as a stud e nt sha l l be the key for you r 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 g rowth a n d
development o f your U niversity h a s been u n i q u e i n I nd i a ,
especi a l l y i n t h e private sector. T h e person a l interest ta ken by
the Fou n der to provide the best of opport u n ities in the U niversity
has contributed i m m e nsely to the development of the campus.
Today the campus facil ity and infrastructure is
comparable to the very best available in any other
private and public University in the country.

You a re l a u n c h i n g you r career i n a cha l l e n g i ng eco n o m i c

conditi o n . Cou ntry after Cou ntry i n E u rope is fac i n g fi n a n c i a l
crisis, g rowth has b e e n consistently negative i n t h e last decade
or so and there is an economic wh i rlpool in which a l l cou ntries
of the world a re sucked i n .
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 th is critica l h o u rs too, we have a si lver l i n i ng i n o u r economy.

Our service sector has a very positive sign of g rowth.
Both agricultural and industrial sector have tremendous growth potential. We have a robust6 0% of our popu lation,
which is effective work force, w h i l e the work force in C h i n a is g ra d u a l ly g o i n g d own d u e to n egative pop u l ation pol icy one c h i l d
policy h a v i n g u ltimately a negative i m pact. I n s u c h a 'down t h e h i l l' g l o b a l economic conditi o n , too, I nd i a has t h e thi rd h i g hest g rowth
rate at present in the world a n d the g rowth rate of the last q u a rter has seen upwa rd tre n d s . 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 agricu lture and the
agriculturists. Ag riculture req u i res education at a l l levels. A few Agricultura l U n iversities ca n not meet the e n o rmous d e m a n d of
a g ri c u lture. There has to be new pla n n i n g on a g ricu ltura l ed ucation , I suppose, to provide a g ricu ltura l ed ucation at a l l levels, prima ry,
secon d a ry, degree a n d U niversity leve l .

Agriculture must also have t h e operation o f scale. So w h y not a ny modern management tec h n i q u e be d es i g n ed that would s u it
o u r l a n d 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 agricu lture also in the foreign direct investment scheme, l i ke, horticulture, sericulture, a nima l h u s ba n d ry, a n d

Report by

Ours i s a nascent but a very vibrant university. We
celebrated its 8th Foundation Day in Febru a ry last. I a m
extremely ha ppy t o report to you that i n such a short span the
U n iversity has g ot a very h i g h visi b i l ity a n d has been recogn ized
as an i n stitution that is i nvolved in a very h i g h q u a l ity teac h i n g
a n d resea rc h . It w a s very a ppropriate t h a t t h e 99th session of
the I n d i a n Science Congress Association was hosted in this
U n iversity from 3-7 J a n u a ry 2 0 1 2 . In con j u nction with it the
C h i l d ren's Science Congress and Women's Science C o n g ress
sessions were a lso org a nized very successfu l ly. A total of a bout
1 8,000 delegates from I nd i a a n d a bout 250 from a b road
participated in it. I am not aware of a n y such a young i nstitution
which was entrusted with the tas k of o rganizing such a mega
event i n this cou ntry.

The number and quality of faculty have the greatest

im pact 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 U n iversity 253
facu lty mem bers have joined d u ri n g the period of the report,
out of them m a ny of them possess P h . D degrees. Most of these
new facu lty m e m bers have post-doctoral and i n d ustry
experience.

The facu lty mem bers and the research schol a rs have been a b l e
t o p u b l i s h 1 1 5 research papers i n p e e r reviewed j o u rn a l s a n d

"Your recognition, Dr. Samanta, of
my efforts to contribute to society
in whatever way I can is
encouraging and inspires me to
continue to serve with optimism
and renewed vigor."
I a m deeply honoured to receive the KISS H u m a n ita ria n Awa rd .
This honour is a cause for deep sense of joy a n d p ride for me a n d
t h e people o f B h uta n , especi a l ly si nce it comes from a n institute
that has been so successful in rea l i s i n g its noble h u ma n ita ria n
vision of bri n g i n g the coveted rea l m o f h i g her a n d excel lent
educatio n with i n the g rasp of the m a rg i n a l ised a n d d e p rive d .
KISS has successfully done what we in Bh utan are
struggling to do - to reduce drop-out rate to zero, to make
our students employable by the time they complete their
college and schools through KISS's unique curriculum of
incorporating vocational training within the formal
education system.
I a m i n d eed h u m bled to j o i n the ra n ks of e m i nent people who a re
gathered here today a n d who have been honoured in particu l a r
with t h i s d istinction b y t h e Ka l i n g a I n stitute o f S o c i a l Sciences i n t h e
l a s t fou r yea rs s i nce its i n ception . That this institute and the
award have been founded by one of the g reatest
humanitarians of the world today, Dr. Achyuta Sa manta. It
is indeed h u m bl i n g , a n d at the sa me time, a source of g reat pride
and i n s p i rati o n .
Your recognition, Dr. Samanta, of my
efforts to contribute to society in whatever way I can is
encouraging and inspires me to continue to serve with
optimism and renewed vigor. For that I tha n k you .
I wou l d l i ke t o briefly p a y tribute t o a l l those w h o have h e l ped me
a l o n g the way these m a n y years.
My first tribute goes to His
Majesty the Fourth King of Bhutan who introduced the
expression 'Gross National Happiness' as the goal for
Bhutan and guided and inspired me right from my very
first year of service, and who continues to inspires all of
us even today.
My mother a n d my wife - I tha n k for sta n d i n g by my side u nfa i l i n g ly
a n d encoura g i ng a n d supporting me in so m a n y countless ways.
To my col l eag ues, who advised and h e l ped me. And fi n a l ly to the
people of Bh uta n for putting their trust in me and giving me the
opportun ity to serve them for the last 3 8 years. F i n a l ly, I offer a g a i n
my deepest tha n ks t o Bh utanese people, t o the K I S S , it Founder,
e w
Dr. Sa m a nta , S mt. Saswati B a l , President of KISS, S h ri R. N. Dash,
Secreta ry of KISS a n d a l l who have been i nvolved i n b ri n g i n g this
event together and for prov i d i n g hope and i n s p i ration to so ma ny.
May your work flourish for generations to come a n d may a l l who
a re touched by your work i n turn be of benefit to many i n need of
help and hope.
Whether you are born in rich family or poor family is a
sheer accident - an accident of nature. Whether you are
rich or poor, you are born with same potentials, same
intelligence. And whether you are rich or poor, you have
dreams. It is no shame to be poor. But what is shameful is
that there are so many children in the world today who do
not receive opportunities to realise their dreams and to
pursue thei r dreams. But the good thing is that there are
people like Dr. Samanta, who was born poor but who
pursued his dreams and succeeded. And today he is
g iving to you an exceptional opportunity to realise your
potentials and dreams.
And this you must fulfill. Yes, your Hon'ble MP did say
that your education here - your admission, your food,
you r hostel and so on - is all free. But I don't think it is free.
There is a price that you must be prepared to pay. And
that price is what Dr. Samanta expects from all of you. I
t h i n k, a n d certa in ly, I wish that you sha re his d rea m , that you s h a re
his vision, that you succeed in your stud ies here . Ta ke adva ntage
of the fac i l ities that has been g iven to you here and then engage i n
t h e busi ness o f u p l ifti n g you r com m u n ities. Not o n l y succeed i n g
yourselves, b u t e n s u ri n g t h a t t h e poo r fa m i l ies that you c o m e from
also get the opportu n ity to rise. That the c h i l d re n that a re born
after you w i l l have the opportun ity and w i l l be inspired by you to
succeed .
It is my prayer that each of you w i l l e n d eavo u r to p u rsue the
d reams of D r. Sa ma nta .
Tha n k you very m u c h .
