'Swarnim Bharat: Virasat aur Vikas' to be showcased through tableaux at Kartavya Path during Republic Day Parade 2025

New Delhi/IBNS: Every year states/UTs and Union government ministries/ departments showcase their tableaux on Kartavya Path as part of Republic Day Celebration (RDC) in 2025.

For RDC-2025, the theme for tableaux has been decided as 'Swarnim Bharat: Virasat aur Vikas'.

Since the beginning of this year, a consultative process has been adopted by the Ministry of Defence to decide on various aspects related to tableaux.

A meeting at senior official level was held in April 2024 to deliberate on improvement of tableaux quality. Various suggestions received during the meeting have been included in the process.

Theme for tableaux was also decided based on suggestions from State/UTs.

There is a well-established system for selection of tableaux for participation in the Republic Day Parade as per which the Ministry of Defence invites proposals for tableaux from all State/ UTs and central ministries/ departments.

The tableaux proposals received from various State/ UTs and central ministries/ departments are evaluated in a series of meetings of the Expert Committee, comprising eminent persons in the field of art, culture, painting, sculpture, music, architecture, choreography etc.

Tableaux are one of the important components of the Republic Day Parade. Due to time allotted for tableaux in the overall duration of parade, short listing of tableaux is done by the Expert Committee.

While evaluating the tableaux ideas presented by various states/UTs and ministries, key aspects like conceptual uniqueness and novelty, creative expression with a clear, communicable message, combining subtlety as well as directness, striking balance between Virasat and Vikas in each tableau, exclusion of repetitive ideas, special attention to details like colors, forms, textures, flow, rhythm, proportions and balance, ensuring a well-composed aesthetic experience of grand scale were taken into consideration for selection.

Following 15 states/UTs have been selected for showcasing their tableaux on Kartavya Path for RDC-2025: Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chandigarh, Dadar Nagar Haveli & Daman and Diu, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Tripura, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.

In addition, 11 Ministries/ Department of Union governments have also been selected for RDC-2025. All the states/UTs, irrespective of their selection for Kartavya Path, are invited to display their tableaux during Bharat Parv in Red Fort (26th-31st January 2025).

The entire selection process is robust, fair, transparent, based on merit and free from any bias.
