The Logo
'
The design has been adopted from an Asho k an
P eriod relic of the third century BCE found in
excavations near Maske in Raichur District,
Karnataka. The motto has been taken from the
Isavasya Upanishad and means ‘life eternal
through learning’. The intertwined hansas
symbolise the integration of the three aspects of
the work of the NCERT: (i) Research and
Development, (ii) Training, and (iii) Extension.
The NCERT has expanded its operations over
the years in response to the demands of society.
It began with the National Institute of
Education and the four Regional Colleges of
Education, spanning the area of school and
teacher education. With a need to focus on
strengthening education in the states, the
colleges were renamed as the Regional
Institutes of Education and their programmes
expanded accordingly. Two institutions, the
Central Institute of Educational Technology
and the Pandit Sundarlal Sharma Central
Institute of Vocational Education, were set
up to explore the specialised areas of
educational technology and vocational
education. The fifth Regional Institute of
Education was set up to specifically cater to
the needs of the North-East.
