It is a matter of great honour and immense pleasure for me to lead Kalinga University.

In the post pandemic period, the higher education scenario has undergone significant changes in terms of approach, global demands and challenges. The National Education Policy 2020 has effectively reflected the idea in its policies for which Kalinga University strives in its implementation in order to bring about a revolution in the field of higher education. We are laying special emphasis on Kalinga University's advancement towards inter-disciplinary studies. Our major focus is on creating an optimized and vibrant platform for quality in knowledge enhancement and bridging the gap between academia and industry with an objective to build up core competence in students integrating knowledge with skills on the foundation of ethics and values.

A strong believer and practitioner of the dictum “Knowledge is Power”, Kalinga University has been on the path of delivering quality education by developing the young human resources with ethical and moral values, while boosting their leadership qualities. Research culture and innovative skills of student-centric learning environment through innovative pedagogy, form the backbone of the University. Bench marked with the course of studies of various institutions of repute, our curriculum is extremely contemporary and is a result of brainstorming efforts of great think-tanks: a large number of faculty members, experts from industries and research organizations.

I would like to conclude by quoting Guru Rabindranath Tagore that “The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence.”

A novel academic life of joy, happiness and creative knowledge awaits the students at Kalinga University.

Wish you all great success!
Affectionately
Dr. Sandeep Arora
Chancellor
