Reconocida a través del Ministerio de Asuntos de la Juventud y Deportes, la Federación tiene como objetivo fortalecer el deporte universitario, promover un gobierno transparente y crear mayores oportunidades destinadas a los jóvenes atletas de todo el país.

Su elección reconoce su importante contribución al deporte universitario a través de KIIT (https://kiit.ac.in/) y KISS (https://kiss.ac.in/), donde ha impulsado un modelo que integra educación, excelencia deportiva y bienestar del atleta. A través de su liderazgo, las instituciones han desarrollado un ecosistema deportivo integral que incluye más de 30 instalaciones deportivas, entrenamiento profesional, ciencias del deporte, nutrición, atención médica y apoyo para la rehabilitación.

Hasta 24 atletas de KIIT y KISS han representado a India en los Juegos Olímpicos, los Juegos Asiáticos, los Juegos de la Commonwealth y los Juegos Mundiales Universitarios. KIIT también ha sido la universidad coordinadora de la India para los Juegos Mundiales Universitarios desde Nápoles 2019. Más recientemente, 54 estudiantes de KIIT y KISS representaron a la India en los XX Juegos Asiáticos celebrados en Aichi-Nagoya, Japón. La participación de una delegación tan numerosa de una sola universidad india ha sido un destacado hito. En este evento deportivo continental, los atletas de KIIT y KISS ganaron un total de 21 medallas: tres de oro, siete de plata y once de bronce.

Como presidente de la IUSF, el doctor Samanta ha hecho hincapié en la competencia justa, el gobierno responsable y el desarrollo centrado en el atleta. Expresó su agradecimiento al Ministerio de Asuntos de la Juventud y Deportes, al ministro de la Unión, el doctor Mansukh Mandaviya, a las universidades y a las partes interesadas del deporte por su apoyo.

El doctor Samanta ha ocupado diversos cargos dentro de organizaciones deportivas nacionales e internacionales, recibiendo reconocimiento por sus contribuciones. Con anterioridad fue presidente de la Federación de Voleibol de la India y actualmente preside la Asociación de Voleibol de Odisha. También está vinculado a la Federación Internacional de Voleibol (FIVB). A lo largo de los años, ha forjado relaciones férreas junto a importantes organismos deportivos internacionales, como la FIFA, la FIVB y la FIDE. En reconocimiento a su contribución a la promoción del voleibol y el ajedrez, ha recibido el máximo galardón otorgado por la FIVB.

Desde el año 2004, Samanta ha trabajado incansablemente con el objetivo de llevar a cabo la promoción del deporte y apoyar a los atletas a través de KIIT y KISS. Estas instituciones han desarrollado infraestructuras deportivas de nivel internacional y han proporcionado a los estudiantes oportunidades para demostrar su talento a nivel estatal, nacional e internacional. Uno de sus atletas ha recibido el Premio Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna, mientras que otros 14 han sido galardonados con el Premio Arjuna.
