Starting from Vedas, the front part of the tableau showed the tradition and past of the country in the field of education since ancient times. This was followed by glimpses of the Gurukul education system and then of the world famous universities such as Nalanda, which used to attract students and scholars from all over the world.
The back part started with a prop that symbolized creativity, technological progress and innovation. In addition, students of different age groups and backgrounds indicated the development of skills at the edges of the tableau. This tableau also highlighted advances in augmented reality and virtual reality technologies.
Images of scholars, educators and scientists – ranging from antiquity to modern times – were also displayed on a lower panel at the edge of the tableau.
