India’s participation follows its successful involvement in Expo 2020 Dubai and continues the tradition of showcasing national achievements at these prestigious global platforms.
World Expos are large-scale international exhibitions that serve as a forum for nations to present innovations and engage in dialogue on pressing global issues. The tradition began with the Great Exhibition in London in 1851 and has introduced groundbreaking technologies such as the telephone and microwave to the world stage.
A major attraction at the India Pavilion has been the display of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, highlighting the successful landing at the moon’s south pole and underscoring India’s growing expertise in space exploration.
