At the stroke of the midnight hour on the intervening night of August 14-15, 1947, this great country India woke up to its destiny in that promising dawn. Achievements galore and failures too in its journey of 75 years. But the tidal wave of the spirit of India has never ebbed. The country has marched on relentlessly through accomplishments and disappointments, through sunshine and rain, from dependency to self-sufficiency. The 21st century belongs to us. As we move in our renewed mission towards Atmanirbhar Bharat, skilled manpower is going to be that fuel that will power us to that goal. The youth of the country in general, and those at SDI, Bhubaneswar in particular, are the torchbearers of this new India. Skill is driving the country. As a premier skill institute of the country, SDI, Bhubaneswar is leading the way and celebrated the spirit of independence on the 76th Independence Day. As part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, SDI, Bhubaneswar celebrated the special day with gusto and gaiety. In his inaugural address, Mr Sanjay Kumar Srivastava, CEO, SDI, Bhubaneswar, addressed the skill trainees and said, “Guts, Gumption and Glory is the new mantra for the students of SDI, Bhubaneswar”. All the trainees should strive hard to hone their skills and become potent weapons in the industrial landscape. The celebrations culminated with spirited cultural performances by the young trainees. On the auspicious occasion, officers, management staff, faculty members, students and their family members were present.
