We at KIIT and KISS were proud to present Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet, and Macbeth in Santali, bringing Shakespeare’s timeless works to life through one of India’s indigenous languages. Directed, narrated, adapted, and performed entirely by 20 students, the production showcased the power of creativity, collaboration, and cultural expression. After a widely appreciated performance at the Constitution Club of India, New Delhi, the students brought this unique theatrical experience to Bhubaneswar, where it received an equally enthusiastic response from audiences. The appreciation and admiration it garnered reflected the impact of presenting global literary masterpieces through a distinctly indigenous cultural lens. As we celebrated 100 years of the Ol Chiki script, the production highlighted the richness of Santali heritage while amplifying indigenous voices on a global platform. It stands as a powerful example of how literature transcends boundaries and how young minds can reimagine global classics through their own language, traditions, and cultural identity.

Mental health is just as important as physical health. Stress, anxiety, and emotional challenges can affect overall well-being, relationships, and daily life if left unaddressed. Taking time for self-care, maintaining healthy routines, staying connected with loved ones, and seeking professional support when needed can help promote emotional wellness and a healthier life. 📞 For medical consultation: 0674-2725228 / 7105354. #MentalHealthMatters #EmotionalWellbeing #HealthyMind #SelfCare #KIMSAt20

Proud of my 20 lovable KIIT and KISS students for performing Shakespeare’s plays in Santali language today in Bhubaneswar, before a distinguished gathering of respected guests from different fields.

Today, they once again made all of us proud in Bhubaneswar. Everyone loved and appreciated their performance so much. For me, this is a matter of great happiness. Our children are taking Santali language, tribal culture and the pride of Odisha to such respected platforms. My heartiest congratulations to all the students, teachers and team members who worked sincerely for this beautiful performance.

Stone Music Performance. Happy to welcome Mr Tokio Hasegawa Ji, Director of Mithila Museum, Japan, along with twelve musicians and performers to KIIT today for the Stone Music India Tour 2026. Mr Hasegawa Ji has spent many years building a beautiful cultural bridge between India and Japan through art, music and the preservation of Mithila paintings. His love for Indian culture is truly inspiring. Our students and staff had the opportunity to witness their unique Stone Music performance at KIIT. Such programmes make education more meaningful, because students learn not only from books, but also from art, culture, creativity and human connection. I thank Mr Hasegawa Ji and the entire team from Japan for visiting KIIT. May the friendship between India and Japan continue to grow stronger through culture, music and love.
