Dubai, UAE – October 2025: The global stage of the Mrs. Tourism International Grand Pageant 2025 in Dubai witnessed an inspiring moment of pride for India as Sudha Shakywar was crowned “Mrs. Tourism Ambassador for Education 2025.” The event celebrated women who are driving change through tourism, culture, and education.

Hailing from Indore, Madhya Pradesh and currently based in Mumbai, Sudha Shakywar emerged as a powerful voice for education and unity. Her advocacy theme, “A Heart that Nurtures the World,” beautifully combined her belief in the transformative power of education with the importance of building unity through tourism and cultural exchange.

A devoted mother to 12-year-old Aarnav Misra and wife of Lingaraj Misra, Sudha embodies balance — blending family, compassion, and purpose with remarkable grace. Her journey from a small-town dreamer to an international ambassador symbolizes hope and empowerment for countless women across India.

During the competition, Sudha captivated the judges with her intellect, authenticity, and cultural representation. Her emotional talent performance of the song “Tu Kitni Achi Hai,” dedicated to mothers around the world, moved the audience and received a standing ovation.

Speaking after being crowned, Sudha said,

“Education unites us beyond borders. Tourism helps us understand, respect, and celebrate our differences. When we combine both — learning and traveling with purpose — we build a world of peace, empathy, and progress.”

Her mission as Mrs. Tourism Ambassador for Education is to create meaningful change by promoting education as a bridge to unity and empowerment. Sudha aims to collaborate with schools, NGOs, and tourism boards to encourage “learning through cultural exposure” — inspiring young minds to see the world not just as travelers, but as global citizens.

Her husband, Lingaraj Misra, expressed his pride:

“Sudha’s success is not just hers — it’s a victory for every woman who dares to dream, lead, and lift others. She’s an inspiration for families who believe in togetherness and purpose.”

Sudha now plans to launch an initiative called “Travel to Learn, Learn to Unite,” connecting tourism and education to drive social awareness, empathy, and inclusion among youth and communities.

Her win at Mrs. Tourism 2025 reaffirms that true beauty lies in purpose, education, and unity — and through her new global role, Sudha Shakywar is determined to make a meaningful difference in society by bringing people together through tourism and learning.
