In a dazzling display of national progress, the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship unveils its Republic Day parade float on Kartavya Path, embodying ‘Skills-Empowered: Crafting a Self-Reliant, Future-Ready India.’ Announced ahead of the January 26 celebrations, this float captures India’s evolution into a skill-powered powerhouse.
Spearheading the procession are ITI’s top national performers, celebrated by PM Modi during the recent skill graduation ceremony. Their presence amplifies India’s recent international accolades, including medals from the WorldSkills Asia 2025 in Taipei, signaling the country’s sharpening prowess in global skill arenas.
Crafted with meticulous detail, the float merges age-old craftsmanship with futuristic tech expertise, epitomizing Atmanirbhar Bharat. A central brain motif pulses with symbols of innovative thought and data mastery, while linked hands evoke the PM-SETU bridge fostering industry-government synergy for upgrading 1,000 ITIs.
Special emphasis falls on ITI programs for Agniveers, transforming them into disciplined, tech-savvy professionals poised for civilian success post-service. This holistic vision propels skills as growth catalysts, innovation as opportunity creators, and young India as pioneers of developed nationhood.
The float not only parades achievements but inspires millions, reinforcing how skill empowerment fuels India’s ambitious trajectory towards global leadership by 2047.
