I was introduced to Dr Patnaaik as an educationist and social worker. I got inquest to know more about this person, who looked a simple, was soft-spoken and appear enlightened. One of his comments: “When we seek to discover the best in others we somehow bring out the excellent in ourselves”, has always given me a reason to learn more about him.
His association with educational institutions as an administrator speaks high of him, as a management expert and an efficient administrator with experience in educational research and academic administration.
I am pleased to know that Dr Patnaaik has established a number of educational institutions in medical, engineering and management segments, including public schools in the country and overseas from concept to commissioning, while adopting best practices in education from all over the world.
I am also given to understand that Dr Patnaaik has been regularly designing several skill development training programmes for students, corporate executives and others.
Dr Patnaaik as a vice chancellor of Kalinga University, Raipur since 2011, is also actively occupied in human rights advocacy, women empowerment, international relation and creating career awareness among youths with a concept “Catch Them Young” throughout the world.
Dr Patnaaik in view of his significant contribution in the spirit and personification of youth in the field of education and natural spiritual healings, has been awarded the Doctorate of Science (Honoris Causa) by the Open International University, Sri Lanka and Certificate of Grand Award of International Natural Medicine, from Italy.
I have relished my short association with Dr Jagannath Patnaik and wish him all the joy of life. I want to thank you for everything that you have taught us till now. The knowledge and wisdom you have imparted upon us has been a great help and support throughout our career.
