Dr. Er. Ratnesh Gupta: A Multifaceted Educator, Innovator, and Literary Voice
Dr. Er. Ratnesh Gupta, currently serving as Training Officer at Government ITI Datia since June 2023, is an accomplished educationist whose career bridges the worlds of skill development, social service, and literature. With an impressive array of additional responsibilities—including Junior Apprentice Advisor, Nodal Training and Placement Officer, District Incharge for the World Skill Competition in Datia, and Master Trainer for the Advanced Livelihood Mission Training—he plays a pivotal role in shaping the skills, opportunities, and futures of students and apprentices in the region. As a member of the District Magistrate’s 22 Commissions Team, his expertise extends beyond the classroom into broader community development and policy implementation.
His journey reflects a lifelong commitment to academic excellence and service. From his early years, he distinguished himself as a bright and motivated learner—earning a merit scholarship in class 8 with an impressive 89%, topping the district in class 10 with 82%, and winning awards in general knowledge and essay competitions. These early achievements laid the foundation for a career defined by dedication, intellect, and versatility.
Professionally, he has served in key educational leadership roles, including as Director of GATEIIT Academy from 2009 to 2012, Manager of the Skill Development Centre in Gulana, Shajapur, and as Training Officer in Government ITI Guna for nearly a decade before assuming his current position in Datia. His ability to balance administrative efficiency with student-centered mentorship has earned him a reputation as both a capable leader and an inspiring educator.
Parallel to his work in education, he has also made a name for himself in the literary field. His book, Aisa Desh Hai Mera, reflects a deep love for his country and a talent for expressive storytelling. Recognized with the Indian Literature Award by the Indian Literature and Arts Society in Bangalore and the Bharat Kavya Ratna Samman for his literary services, he was also honored as the Best Poet of the Year 2025. His ability to merge his professional life in vocational training with his passion for literature underscores his multifaceted talents.
His achievements have been widely recognized. In October 2024, he received the Outstanding Achievement Award from ITM Gwalior. He has been celebrated as the Best Teacher Educator and named the Most Inspiring Social Worker of the Year 2025—honors that speak to his influence not only in the classroom but also in the broader social landscape.
His career aspirations reflect both ambition and a commitment to public good. In the coming years, he aims to develop more effective training programs for students and apprentices, expand his literary contributions, grow the reach of his educational app “Ratnesh Classes,” and establish mentorship initiatives for young professionals. Long-term, he envisions taking on leadership roles in education administration, further cementing his place as a respected figure in both vocational training and literary circles.
Family heritage has played a defining role in shaping his values and vision. Born to Mr. Vikram Gupta, a retired ADO, and Shrimati Savita Gupta, a homemaker, he grew up in an environment that valued education, service, and cultural heritage. His grandfather, the late Dr. Rambharose Gupta, a distinguished personality in India who earned a PhD in Child Literature, left a legacy that continues to inspire his literary pursuits. The unwavering support from his wife, Mrs. Deepa Gupta, and his brother, engineer Pawanesh Gupta, has further strengthened his resolve to contribute meaningfully to society.
Grounded in family values, fueled by academic achievement, and driven by an unyielding sense of responsibility, he has built a career that seamlessly integrates education, innovation, literature, and social impact. His work at Government ITI Datia and beyond stands as a testament to the power of knowledge, creativity, and service in shaping a better future for individuals and communities alike.
