Bhubaneswar: KIIT Deemed to Be University will host the 61st Femina Miss India Grand Finale at its Bhubaneswar campus this April, marking a significant national event on the university grounds.
KIIT signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Femina Miss India on Tuesday to formalize this collaboration. The signing ceremony, held at the Times of India office in Mumbai, was streamed live at 3 PM.
The event was attended by Prof. (Dr.) Saranjit Singh, Vice-Chancellor of KIIT, Rohit Gopakumar, CEO of Times Network, Prof. Achyuta Samanta, founder of KIIT, and other distinguished personalities.
Members of the KIIT, KISS, and KIMS communities were invited to watch the live ceremony through the official link.
This collaboration strengthens KIIT’s mission of empowering future leaders and underscores the university’s role as a hub for national-scale events celebrating women’s talent and leadership, the educational institution said in a statement.
The partnership highlights KIIT’s commitment to women’s empowerment and inclusive education. Nearly 50% of students at KIIT and about 70% at KISS are women, reflecting the institutions’ dedication to creating an environment where young women can learn, grow, and lead with confidence and dignity.
Femina Miss India, which has celebrated and empowered women for over 70 years, provides a national platform recognizing the talent, confidence, and leadership of young women across India.
