img about this festival clear

This Festival Belongs to Everyone

To the child whose eyes shine with curiosity. To the artist who dares to imagine a world unseen. To the innovator shaping the future. To the homemaker whose quiet resilience is a lesson in itself. And to the leader whose vision inspires change.

Here, people from all walks of life will come together, students, teachers, thinkers, creators, institutions. Woven into a grand tapestry of knowledge, this gathering breaks down the walls of classrooms and boundaries of geography. Education will move, breathe, and soar, empowering, transforming, and uplifting humanity.

To be here is to stand at the threshold of history. It is to witness India emerge as the epicenter of a new global renaissance in education. This is where tradition meets innovation, where learning becomes a joyful experience, and where knowledge is celebrated as life’s greatest festival.

The International Festival of Education will see active participation from schools, colleges, universities, education system providers, and creators of future-ready products. It will feature cultural performances, science and arts-based workshops, quizzes, and exhibitions. A diverse food court will showcase global cuisine, making it a confluence of people, cultures, and ideas. This platform will enable India to think, share, learn, and grow, together.

Dignitaries and thought leaders from various fields will deliver keynote sessions and interact with visitors, sharing their insights on building India’s future through education. Participants will engage in a unique immersive experience that brings the world together in a vibrant exchange of ideas and cultures. The festival opens up endless possibilities for personal growth and collective progress through lifelong learning.
