The KISS model of education – Fully free formal education in a residential environment has been accepted by one and all not only from India but from abroad as the most successful model to eradicate poverty through education in underprivileged children. KISS the brain child of Dr. Achyuta Samanta, who has experienced poverty first hand after he lost his father at the tender age of 4 years realized that poverty is the biggest handicap a child can have.
