The annual summit brought together senior policymakers, eminent educationists, and key stakeholders from across the country for a day of dialogue, networking, and recognition. With the theme “Focus on Education Growth – Believe, Achieve, Succeed,” this year’s event highlighted excellence, innovation, and education leadership. The EGN Awards are designed to honour “education heroes” while providing a platform to address pressing challenges in the sector.

Panel discussions during the summit focused on innovative educational practices, leadership’s role in student development, and the need for a holistic framework that moves beyond textbooks to prepare learners for the complexities of today’s world.

Mr. Prabhu’s award was conferred during a gala ceremony attended by prominent figures from academia and the government. Expressing his gratitude, he remarked, “I am humbled to receive this award, which I accept on behalf of the entire Don Bosco ITI community. Our collective commitment to nurturing talent and fostering a culture of excellence is what truly makes our institution shine.”

The recognition marks a significant milestone not only for Mr. Prabhu but also for DBITI-Kurla, reaffirming its reputation as a leader in technical and vocational education. It underscores the institution’s alignment with the Salesian mission to empower young people through skill-building and value-based education.

By earning this national recognition, DBITI-Kurla strengthens its resolve to continue innovating and shaping students into “nation builders whose character, spirit, and energy shape the destiny of nations.”
