About IndiaSkills Mascot Design Competition

IndiaSkills is the Government of India’s flagship skills competition programme and the country’s largest platform for identifying, nurturing and celebrating excellence in vocational skills. The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), with National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) as its implementation and Knowledge Partner, IndiaSkills serves as the national gateway for participation in WorldSkills and showcases the capabilities of India’s youth across emerging and traditional trades. As India positions itself as a global skills capital, a strong, recognisable and aspirational brand identity for IndiaSkills has become increasingly important.

To strengthen brand recall, deepen youth engagement and create a lasting visual symbol for the movement, the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) in collaboration with MyGov invited citizens to design Official IndiaSkills Mascot.
