Delhi’s Republic Day Tableau Highlights Capital’s Educational Revolution

Delhi’s tableau at the Republic Day parade 2025 captured the nation’s attention, showcasing the city’s transformation into a hub for quality education, research, and technological advancement. The tableau, displayed at the Kartavya Path, underlined key achievements in digitalisation, higher education, and the integration of robotics in medical training.

The vibrant display featured a girl working with laboratory instruments, children symbolising aspirations, and a tree of knowledge emerging from a laptop—powerful imagery representing Delhi’s strides in education. The tableau celebrated the AAP government’s initiatives since 2015, including the ‘Happiness Curriculum,’ ‘Mission Buniyaad,’ and international teacher training programs, which have collectively improved public school infrastructure, addressed resource shortages, and increased funding for education.

Delhi’s public schools, catering to over 1.5 million students, have become a model of accessible and quality education. The focus on free education and infrastructure improvements has set a benchmark for the rest of the country.

The tableau’s theme aligned with this year’s broader Republic Day focus on “virasat” (heritage) and “vikas” (progress). With 16 tableaux from states and union territories and 15 from central ministries and organizations, Delhi’s presentation stood out for its emphasis on education reform.

The timing of the tableau’s message is significant, with assembly elections around the corner. It served as a strong reminder of the AAP government’s vision for the capital’s future and its commitment to education as a catalyst for change.
