Bhubaneswar became the center of celebration as Nita Ambani was bestowed with the KISS Humanitarian Award 2025 for her transformative work in social causes. As the driving force behind Reliance Foundation, Ambani’s initiatives have touched millions, particularly in empowering women and uplifting marginalized communities.
The ceremony at KISS campus drew an impressive crowd of 40,000 tribal students, who enthralled guests with cultural displays. The award was handed over by renowned Nobel winner Mohan Munasinghe and visionary educator Achyuta Samanta.
Taking the stage, Ambani shared her joy, attributing the achievement to her team’s collective dedication. She lauded Samanta’s institutions as exemplary models of excellence and national pride.
The overwhelming affection from students left a lasting impact on her. Ambani highlighted Odisha’s cultural richness and the innate harmony its people share with the environment.
In an empowering message, she told the students that talent knows no gender. Encouraging them to pursue ambitious goals with diligence and integrity, she envisioned a promising tomorrow for India through such youthful vigor.
Described this trip as profoundly special, Ambani’s words resonated deeply. The award, instituted in 2008, comes with a prestigious certificate and a gleaming gold trophy representing empathy and altruism.
