Students of a private university in Odisha arranged themselves into a massive human formation reading “WE URGE FOR WORLD PEACE” and set a Guinness world record for the ‘largest human sentence’.

The students of Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) also created a second world record on the same day. This time for the ‘most simultaneous high-fives’.

Organised on the occasion of International Human Rights Day today, a total of 15,225 students took part in making the human sentence, a statement by the university said.

Guinness World Records official Fortuna Lisa Burke, who was present with her team to witness the event, certified it as a new world record for the ‘Largest human sentence’.

The previous record was set in Dubai by 6,958 people, it said.

A total of 25,151 students participated in the second record, as certified by the Guinness World Records.

The previous record for ‘Most simultaneous high-fives’ involved 7,238 people in Canada, the statement said. Over 25,000 students of KISS also formed a 30-km-long human chain encircling the city of Bhubaneswar.

Tribal students of the institute stood hand-in-hand along all major roads of the city, stretching over 30 kms, forming the chain which, the statement claimed, the longest human chain in the world by indigenous people.

The complete chain was formed on Thursday morning and maintained for a duration of three minutes, during which city traffic was regulated.

Later, the students gathered for valedictory ceremony of the event at Kalinga Stadium, where they were addressed by Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik and other dignitaries.
