New Delhi, October 4, 2025 – A proud moment for Don Bosco Technical Institute (DBTI) as 55 of its trainees and staff were invited by the Directorate General of Training (DGT) to participate in the prestigious Kaushal Deekshant Samaroh (Skill Convocation Ceremony) at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi. The national event, graced by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, felicitated 46 All India Toppers from ITIs and witnessed the launch of youth-focused initiatives worth over ₹62,000 crore, including the landmark PM-SETU Scheme to upgrade 1,000 ITIs across India. Prime Minister Modi highlighted the transformative role of ITIs, stating: “Our ITIs are not only excellent institutions for industrial education; they are also the workshops of an Atmanirbhar Bharat. With the launch of the ₹60,000 crore PM Setu Scheme and 1,200 new Skill Labs, India’s youth will be directly connected with industries and global skill demands.”.He further emphasized: “The PM-SETU Yojana will connect India’s youth with the world’s skill demands.” “When the strength of the youth increases, the nation grows stronger.” “As skills grow, the nation becomes self-reliant, exports increase, and employment opportunities expand.” “Bharat Ratna Karpoori Thakur Ji devoted his entire life to social service and education. The skill university named after him will carry forward his vision.” The Prime Minister also reflected on Bihar’s progress, noting that while the state once suffered from systemic neglect, today it stands at the forefront of educational and skill development reforms. He lauded the joint efforts of the Centre and State in creating opportunities for Bihar’s youth to study and work within their homeland. The convocation was attended by Chief Minister Shri Nitish Kumar, Union Ministers Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, Shri Jual Oram, Shri Jayant Chaudhary, Shri Durga Das Uikey, Dr. Sukanta Majumdar, and other dignitaries. Other institutions present at the event included officials from DGE&T, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), ASK Government ITI Nizamuddin, and NSTI Delhi, along with dignitaries from various ministries. The convocation also brought together 46 toppers out of 357 national awardees representing over 150 trades from ITIs across the country, making it a truly pan-India celebration of skill and talent. For DBTI, the invitation was both recognition and encouragement, reaffirming its contribution to India’s skilling ecosystem. The participation of 55 DBTI trainees and staff not only showcased the institute’s commitment to quality training but also connected them directly with a historic moment in the nation’s skill development journey.
