We are deeply saddened by the passing away of Dr. Hari Gautam, the legendary Cardio-Thoracic Surgeon, former Chairman of the University Grants Commission (UGC), and former Chancellor of KIIT Deemed to be University.
Dr. Gautam shared a warm and cherished relationship with KIIT and KISS and had always been an admirer of the vision and work of Prof. (Dr.) Achyuta Samanta, Founder, KIIT, KISS & KIMS. His association and blessings strengthened our institutions during their journey of growth and excellence.
He was a guiding light whose wisdom, humility, and leadership inspired generations in education and healthcare. His passing is an irreparable loss to the nation and to all of us who had the privilege of knowing him.
We pray to the Almighty to grant eternal peace to his noble soul and give strength to his family and well-wishers to bear this great loss. KIIT, KISS & KIMS will always remember him with deep respect, love, and gratitude.
