The Republic Day parade on Kartavya Path will spotlight India’s skill empowerment narrative through MSDE’s stunning float, ‘Skilled to Empower: Forging Self-Reliant India for Tomorrow.’ It’s a vivid portrayal of a nation transformed by skilled manpower and bold innovations.
Commanding attention upfront are India’s finest ITI graduates, awarded by Prime Minister Modi at the ‘Kushal Deekshant Samaroh 2025.’ Their lead role echoes recent glories at the WorldSkills Asia Competition in Taipei, where India scooped medals and excellence honors, cementing its global skills reputation.
Artfully constructed, the float pays homage to traditional artisans partnering with tech wizards, embodying true Atmanirbharta. A prominent brain sculpture signifies ingenuity and sharp analytics, with joined hands illustrating PM-SETU’s game-changing collaborations to modernize 1,000 public ITIs.
Notably, these ITIs empower Agniveers with advanced training, preparing them for disciplined careers beyond uniform. The float’s message is clear: skills drive progress, innovation sparks possibilities, and empowered youth propel India to its Viksit destiny.
As tricolors wave on January 26, this float will inspire a skills-first mindset, heralding an era where every Indian’s talent contributes to a prosperous, independent future.
