The Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences is situated right next to the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology where an alleged suicide of a student from Nepal and the mishandling of the resulting protest led to a diplomatic row.
Students say they were ‘targeted’ for taking part in Feb campus protests after Prakriti Lamsal's death. The assault allegedly took place the day a 2nd Nepalese student 'died by suicide'.
Fear grips students from Nepal as memories of February crackdown still fresh in their minds, when hundreds of them were evicted from hostels after they protested the death of Prakriti.
The MEA added that the safety, security & well-being of all international students is a priority for the Indian government and that an investigation by the state police is underway.
Lamsal's complaint wasn't reported because it was considered 'mental, not sexual harassment', university says. Students tell ThePrint they are unaware of PoSH provisions on campus.
A Nepali student allegedly died by suicide last Sunday after being harassed, sparking protests by several Nepali students, who were then 'kicked out'—a decision later reversed by KIIT.
Students said they had to beg and borrow to return home to Nepal after KIIT University ordered their eviction, prompting Nepal’s Prime Minister to dispatch a two-member delegation to Bhubaneswar.
With non-leather products driving global footwear demand between 2020 and 2024, India’s global market share stood at 1.85% in 2024, says a NITI Aayog report.
ISKP, a sub-continental branch of the Islamic State, is said to have vowed to extend operations in Kashmir, on encouragement from Pakistan’s security establishment.
Pakistan’s army has been a rentier force available to a reasonable bidder. It has never come to the aid of any Muslims including Palestinians or the Gazans, except making noises here and there.
What a biased and idiotic article!
If you are so concerned about your child’s safety and consider KISS a threat to his/her well being, please don’t send them to this institution. It’s as simple as that.
KISS officials don’t kidnap children from the tribal communities in Odisha. Tribal families themselves come forward and wish to get their child enrolled.

This is biased reporting. KISS has done a lot for tribal people of Odisha. The unfortunate incidents of KIIT should not be used to blame KISS.
Peddle your agenda….Go on…. what else you guys can do….. shameless
