There is no denying of the fact that there has been rapid changes in every field and the world is now virtually under the grip of the most powerful economic order, which has been determining almost everything. In such a situation economic power is also determining the higher education. In certain ways, higher education continues to remain international because economic power blocks no longer want control of any government authority. Higher education is now a trillion dollar business. The Economic Survey on higher education way back in 2003, suggests that the annual fee income alone was estimated at $ 30 billion. In such a situation even government controlled universities, in order to deal with financial loss, openly are soliciting entry of foreign students. In order to attract foreign students many universities have tailored their courses to international requirements besides appointing agents abroad and publicizing their offer widely. It is true that economically the country gains by opening the gates of its country to the foreign students. But as a University KilT believes that education must incorporate values and ethics in curriculum. Because of such a thinking KilT has been cautiously treading the path of globalization. It has now signed MoU with more than sixty universities across the globe. The primary objective of KilT's internationalization is to have a broad based education for all with some ethical values. In the process of attracting students from abroad and to send its students to overseas, KilT from this year has taken up an ambitious plan. Aptly named as KilT Global, this separate wing under the independent charge of the Rector would take care of all the global activities of the university. In the coming days, KilT would be a very important player in the field of higher education reaching out to all the countries of the world. To begin with KilT Global literally, nearly 60 students from Europe are coming to KilT this weekend for almost six months to study English.

Educational excellence transcending borders •••

Each and every university today looks for the global scenario in the field of higher education.

T he rapid changes in every field of knowledge have made the world virtually under the most

powerful economic order that has come through knowledge. With the growth of information

technology, the higher education scenario is fast changing. Never before one could get

information at the press of a button. ICT revolution has changed the way world behaves and

thinks. Higher education is no longer controlled and regulated by the state alone. Since late

1990s, the higher education market is growing by 9% per year. Apart from the state, private

players have entered the education scenario because of which even government Universities

are now soliciting entry of foreign students. To attract foreign students many Universities have

tailored their courses to international requirements.

According to U N ESCO Report (2006), the need for i nternational education wi l l i ncrease from 1 .8 m i l l ion i nternational students

in 2002 to 7 . 2 m i l l ion in 2025 . This g rowth creates huge chal lenges and opportun ities. Thou g h the exact fig u re can not be

esti mated with accu racy, yet it is obvious that there would be rise in the p rog rammes and institutions across national bou ndaries.

In order to meet this ris ing demands, i nstitutions across the g lobe have come forward with several p lans .

As a progressive institution, KilT

University has not been untouched

by these developme nts. T h e

management of the institution has

identified internationalization of

KilT as an important thrust area for

the next ten years. Starting this

year, a series of measure are on the

anvil, including a setting up of a h igh impact

'KilT Global' secretariat in the campus to

coordinate the efforts.

Global i nteraction of K i lT U n iversity is, however, not new.

Way back in 200 l, K i lT was one of the few i nstitutions in the

State of Odisha to attract foreign students i nto its various

academic programmes. In su bsequent yea rs, the i r

n umbers g rew stead i l y. At present student body of K i lT

U n iversity has representation from over 20 countries,

inc lud ing most of the So uth Asi a n nations, proving that

Ki lT's reputation as a qua l ity institution of professional

ed ucation tra nscends borders .

2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011

K i l T U n iversity va l ues the d iversity that i nternat ional students bring to campus i n terms of cu ltu re, backg round and perspectives.

A decade long exposu re to i nternational envi ron ment has led to the creation of infrastructu re and su pport syste ms which a re the

most a ppropriate to welcome foreign stude nts. The U n iversity has a proactive I nternationa l Prog ramme Cel l , which provides

g u ida nce to i nternationa l students rig ht from their a rriva l in the institute in the matters of their cu ltu ra l, legal and academic needs and other issues of releva nce. Keepi ng in view the communication needs of the prospective students from South Korea, Ch ina, Tha i l a n d and Japan, the U n iversity has esta b l ished a lang uage lab to improve the commun ication sk i l l s i n eight foreign

langua ges inc lud ing Eng l i s h . There is a dedicated hostel for i nternationa l students with supe rior amen ities.

Faci l ities and su pport services apart, a cu rricu l um tu ned to g l obal standard is a ma jor attraction for fore ign stude nts. In order to

ma i nta i n such h igh sta ndard, KilT has roped i n facu lty and staff members from 1 3 cou ntries . Besides, i nternationa l l uminaries

such a s Nobel La u reates, Ramon Magsaysay Awardees, Ambassadors, renowned legal and ma nage ment person a l ities

reg u l a rly de l iver specia l l ectu res at K i lT U n iversity and i nteract with the students.

I n order to make its presence felt in the g l obal education scena rio, K i lT U n iversity sought members h i p in various prestigious world bod ies, accreditation boards a nd associations l i ke U n iversity Mobi l ity Asia a n d the Pacific (UMAP), Association of

Commonwea lth U n iversities (ACU) and I nternationa l Association of Un iversities ( IAU ) . Each of these bodies have l a rge number of m ember U n iversities and members benefit from exchange, degree equiva lence, fel l owsh ip and research g ra nts i n fu rthering the cause of h ig her education a mongst themselves. Ki lT's part ic ipation i n these world bodies has enha nced the cred i b i l ity of Ki lT

as a U n iversity. The 400 odd U n iversities body U MAP has been so i m p ressed by Ki lT that it decided to have its I nd ia Office i n KilT

As per the a rra ngements, Ki lT students have been reg u l a rly going to various partner u n iversities. Every year a g ro u p of students from Ki lT School of Rural Ma nagement goes to Asian I nstitute of Tech nology (AIT) , Bangko k as a part of their tra i n i ng .

Recently, five students have been to the Natio n a l Formosa U n ive rsity, Ta iwan to attend the I nternationa l E n g l ish Camp there. However, it is not one way traffic from KilT. The u n iversity a lso has been receiving exchange students from partner u n iversities. I n order to cater to the needs of the students com i ng from overseas, K i lT Un iversity often conducts custom ized cou rses for them.

Merchant of Hope

I stand here, amidst a sea of tribal children, my heart taking in the beauty of an Incredible Odisha created by a man I know

now as a spiritual being undergoing a human experience. I feel the darkness lift, and a light enter my soul. I breathe, and I

know India is rising, leaving behind a thousand years of impoverishment. To the great land of Kalinga, I bow my head,

and to the magical vision of Dr Achyuta Sa manta, I put in a salute.

A man's character, I'm told, is shaped in adversity. Growing up, we'd heard about Abraham Lincoln, a gentleman who spent

his early years inside a single log cabin with his family. His poverty denied him a chance to attend school, and the total amount

of formal education Lincoln received lasted less than one year. But Lincoln did not forget the lessons during his adversity, and

that is what eventually shaped his fine, sterling character. He turned every crisis in his life into an opportunity, rose above

failed business ventures, and political defeats, to one day become the President of the United States of America. He triggered

the process of uplifting slaves from their fettered existence, and to this day freedom and liberty remain the most abiding and

cherished dreams of every American. To this day I also hear that he is America's greatest President ever, and I known President

Obama agrees. As I stand on the soil of Bhubaneswar, I take in a similar powerful story scripted far away from Lincoln's 19'"

century logcabin days at Kentucky. Here in Odisha, a state rich in history, but with abundance of poverty, I learn about Dr

Sa manta and how India's most famous citizens have been awed by what they have seen. Institution building with a difference,

that is what he's achieved. Holding my breath, I hear about him skipping meals and starving during his childhood so that every

member in the family could have just about enough in their stomachs to survive. Hearing his moving and inspiring story I

believe that if we count each day by not what we reap, but by what we sow, then life is simpler, and immeasurably better. Dr

Samanta has been sowing the seeds of Good Karma every single day of his life, and the Universe has found a way for him to

become who he is today- a legend who has inspiringly dedicated his life to the upliftment of poor, tribal children in Odisha. At

the same time he has not forgotten the importance of creating a sound revenue model that will allow him to sustain his project

for the tribals. KilT is the revenue model. KISS is the magic-an inspiring tribal school project.

I am awed. Dr Samanta could have been just another billionaire in India, with so much money that it would take him several

lifetimes to spend all his wealth. But he's chosen the road less travelled. He's managed to balance his life beautifully; wealth for

him is just a means to reach the end. T he magic of this man allows dreams to spread. He has managed to spread sunshine and

joy in the lives of 16,500 underprivileged children, a figure he wants to raise to 2,00,000 soon. T he road he's chosen, the one less

travelled, has made all the difference to the lives of many, and few acts in history are nobler than the act of living for others.
