Dear
friends
Every
time, Sri Achyut Samant who   talks as
Spokesperson of KIIT and KISS claims that more 
than
30,000 tribal children
are  reading 
in KISS Tribal  school. These
children are  provided  free boarding, lodging  and education 
free of cost. Whenever, RTI was 
filed  to KISS, Bhubaneswar  to get 
information  about  number 
of  children  staying in KISS tribal  hostel, the KISS  Authority 
denied  to  supply 
the  information.  Then  on 4.1.19., RTI Application was  filed 
to  three major  departments 
of  Govt. of Odisha  i.e., School and Mass Education Department, SC
and ST Development Department, Women and Child development Department
seeking  information  about 
Number of Children Presently reading in KISS Tribal School, Patia,
Bhubaneswar .
As the said information was not available, all three Departments
forwarded RTI Application to each other for supply  of information. At last on 19.1.19, the PIO
of SC and ST   Development Department   forwarded same to PIO, office of District
Welfare Officer to provide information.
On
19.2.19,
the
PIO, office  of DWO, Khurda  supplied 
the  information stating  that total no. of 18998 ( from Class 1 to 10)  were  reading 
in KISS School. After going 
through  this  information, doubt  is raised about  authenticity 
of  information supplied  by PIO vs 
claim  of  Achyut Samant . Another  RTI Application dated 28.2.19 was  filed to the PIO, office  of DWO, Khurda  to 
get  the  information about source  of 
information supplied  dt. 19.2.19
relating  to 18998 children reading in
KISS school.
On 20.3.19,
the PIO, office of DWO, Khurda  supplied
the  following information.
