KIT founder achyuta samantarecived awards

Happy and humbled to receive 3 significant honours during my visit to Bozeman, Montana, USA.

Received a special recognition from the Department of Native American Studies at Montana State University for my work in the field of tribal and indigenous empowerment through KISS. I was also spiritually honoured by the Native American tribal community with their sacred tribal blanket, which is a very special mark of respect in their tradition. I also received the Global Visionary Award from the Montana World Affairs Council. The occasion was also graced by Honble Governor of Montana, Mr. Greg Gianforte, which made the moment more special.

I feel humbled to know that I am among the first Indians and non-Americans to receive such a distinguished recognition in Montana for humanitarian and educational leadership. This honour is very special to me, as it connects the tribal children of India with the indigenous communities of America through love, respect and shared human values.

My sincere thanks to Montana State University, Montana World Affairs Council, the Native American tribal community, the Honble Governor of Montana, the Honble Consul General of India in Seattle, Mr Prakash Gupta, and all friends in Montana for their affection and blessings.
