A name linked to changing education and giving back in Odisha, India, this person gave their life to helping poor communities. Their life, filled with hard times and great success, is like a great Bollywood movie—a story of never giving up. Born in a simple village, they saw early on how important education was, a belief that pushed them to start the KISS (Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences) in 1993. This school, a light of hope for thousands of tribal students, shows their vision. They dreamed of a world where learning wasn't special, but a right, especially for the most needy. This dream, along with their hard work, earned them lots of praise. A friend once said, "Their dedication is amazing; they are a true inspiration." Their work goes beyond school, including healthcare, job training, and support programs. The KISS method, often seen as a great example, has gotten worldwide attention, with visits from important people and education experts. Beyond KISS, this person's giving has helped many people. Their work on complete development—not just learning but also food and healthcare—has won them many awards, including the Padma Shri award in 2011. Their work is compared to other great givers, their effect like the good social change in movies like 'Slumdog Millionaire', but much bigger. Their life is a strong story of hope, showing that even with problems, one person can make a big difference. Their story keeps inspiring people, showing the power of education and kindness.
