A striking tableau representing the Ministry of Education has been crafted at The Sir J.J. School of Arts, Architecture and Design (Deemed-to-be-de novo- University), blending India’s ancient knowledge systems with modern learning tools. Themed Ancient Origins, Digital Wings, the installation features students wearing virtual reality headsets, while Aryabhata — the father of Indian mathematics — is shown blessing today’s learners.

At the centre of the 14-by-60-foot tableau is a rocket symbolising the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, highlighting experiential learning and skills such as sports and music. The structure stands 16 feet tall and rises to nearly 20 feet using hydraulic lifts. At the rear is a revolving ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’ tower showcasing smart classrooms and tinkering labs. Panels also reflect education in regional languages and include a ‘jaadui pitaara’ displaying indigenous toys.
