Discovery of  another Mega 
Land Scam of KISS , Bhubaneswar
(
Exposed  under RTI )
Dear  friends 
Much earlier,  we 
have  brought  to the 
notice  of the public  about 
Mega Land Scam masterminded  by
Achyut Samant,  founder  of KIIT and KISS, Bhubaneswar, a man having
land grabbing  mania and  habituated to adopt  different 
tricks  to grab land  through 
fraudlent means.  The  information extracted  from CAG report and  obtained 
through  RTI   has proved 
that  total   111.5 acres  of 
the  precious land  ( 82 Acres of land as per CAG Report + 18
acres  of forest land + 11.5 acres of
GA  plot ) has been  acquired illegally  and through causing  irregularities     in Chandaka Industrial area,  Patia 
and Pathargadia area  by  authority 
of KISS and KIIT. Achyut Samant, 
presently BJD MP  has
masterminded  this  scam 
in Bhubaneswar.   Different  tricks 
adopted  by Achyut Samant  to grab land 
is as follows. 
1. First grab  Govt. land without informing Govt. authority  and after 
few years of acquiring land, letter 
is written to  concerned authority  to  
lease  out  same land 
in the  interest  of tribal 
children. Sri  Samant  has written 
such type  of letter  several times 
to IDCO  to get  the land. 
Though  illegal, IDCO  has allotted 
a number  of plots  to KIIT 
which  CAG  has 
greatly  objected.  
2. Huge  precious forest  land  
is  acquired  by 
KISS and KIIT  and  palatial building  is constructed  without 
knowledge  of  Revenue Dept. and Forest Dept.  Even 
Achyut Samant  does not  care 
to  apply for diversion  of 
forest  land for non-forest  purpose. It 
has been  possible  due  to
nexus  of 
Achyut Samant  with  BJD leaders and State  bureaucracy.  Even after 
NGT order, Still  KISS  continues 
to acquire  land  with tacit 
support  from state  administration. 
3.  Most  of
the KIIT and KISS  building  are 
constructed  without  approval of BDA. Because  the land 
does not  belong to KIIT and KISS.
4.  Similarly, private  plots 
within vicinity  of KIIT  and KISS 
are  forcibly  acquired 
by  the  people 
of Achyut Samant. They are  
forced  to  sell 
their  to KIIT . If they  disagree they are  threatened 
and beaten up  by goons  of Sri Samant.  Many 
learned  citizens  who have purchased  land 
are not allowed  to enter  into their 
land  by goons of  Sri Samant. 
Jagannath Temple  constructed   by Achyut Samant  is 
over  the land of  a retired 
Professor  who  died 
of  heart stroke, as  Sri Samant 
does not  allow him to  construct house  over 
his  land , adjacent to KIIT  campus. 
5. Despite  Court 
order, Achyut Samant  does  not 
allow private  people  to construct house  over their 
own land  due to his  unholy 
nexus  with Odisha  bureaucracy, 
ruling  class and police.  That 
conflict  is quite  visible 
in Patia and Pathargadia area. 
Recent  discovery 
of another land scam  of KISS  is  
that  as  per information obtained  from  office
of DFO, Chandaka,  KISS authority  has acquired 
another  4.032  
ha. ( around 11 acres  of land
)  revenue forest land  in Mouza – Pathargadia ( Khata No. 2242)  under Bhubaneswar Tahasil.  This 
land  has been acquired  by Samant 
without  taking any  permission or 
approval  from Govt. As  per 
provision of Forest  Conservation
Act,  any 
diversion  of forest  land for 
non-forest  purpose  requires 
approval  of Ministry  of 
environment and Forest , Govt. of India. Forest  Dept. 
has not  handed over this  land to KISS. 
But  KISS authority  has been showing  this 
land  as property  of KISS 
and used  this  land to 
get  deemed  to be 
University status  for KISS.
