Kalinga Institute of Social Science, a private institution
located at Patia, Bhubaneswar which claims
to have housed 30,000 tribal
children has not been registered with Women and Child Development Department and Department of SC and ST welfare , Govt. of Odisha. As per
information obtained under RTI dated 13.11.18 in response to RTI query
about no. of institutions registered under section 41 of JJ Act within
jurisdiction of Khurda district, the PIO, Dept. of Women and Child Development has
provided list of 14 organisations
registered with Govt. But astonishingly,
the name of KISS, Patia, Bhubaneswar does not figure in the list. On 19.6.2017, while submitting
the inquiry report into alleged
torture of children in KISS Hostel, the
CWC, Khurda has recommended
for registration of KISS in Tribal welfare Department
and issued necessary direction to the Collector, Khurda to take steps

run by a state government or voluntary
organisations or NGOs which are meant either wholly or partially for housing the
children in need of care and
protection , shall be registered under
section 41 of the Juvenile

But KISS
institution under control of Achyuta Samant has been constantly ignoring order
of CWC and defying
law of the land without
getting it registered.

Astonishingly, despite
order of Additional CWC, Khurda, Secretary, KISS has written a letter dated 18.4.19 to CWC, Khurda in constant to
order of CWC that their
Institution need not be
registered under JJ Act. We are
waiting to see what legal action Additional CWC will take
against authority of KISS
for non-compliance of order of
the CWC.
