In a forward-thinking initiative this July 2025, DIET Karnal hosted a special screening of an educational documentary on auto tech, focusing on the growth of the Indian automobile sector and the country’s transition toward electric vehicles. The screening was part of the teacher training institute’s broader efforts to enhance educational resources on sustainable mobility and technological transformation in the transportation sector.
The EV evolution India film titled “Wheels of Change: India’s Auto Tech Journey” has been produced in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and INPA (Indian National Progressive Auto). The documentary is already being recognized as an effective visual tool to educate teacher trainees and students about the country’s mobility journey—from early engine imports to indigenous EV manufacturing.
This event signals a strong move by educational institutions to blend media and curriculum, particularly in areas of science, environment, and public policy.
Why an Educational Documentary on Auto Tech is Crucial
In the age of experiential and digital learning, traditional textbooks can often fall short in communicating complex technological progress. The educational documentary on auto tech aims to fill that gap by offering visual storytelling on India’s evolving transport landscape.
The film covers:
-
The introduction of motor vehicles in pre-independence India
-
Growth of indigenous manufacturers like Tata, Mahindra, and Bajaj
-
Fuel economy concerns and emissions regulations
-
Introduction of electric and hybrid vehicles
-
Role of AI, telematics, and automation in auto tech
By watching this EV evolution India film, teacher trainees gain a timeline-based understanding of the social, economic, and environmental changes driven by the automobile sector. The film not only promotes knowledge but encourages classroom discussions and project-based learning.
Key Highlights from the Film Screening Event
The film screening at DIET Karnal was followed by an open-floor discussion led by experts in auto education and urban mobility. Over 100 teacher trainees attended the session and participated in group activities based on insights from the documentary.
Here is a summary of the event structure:
| Session Component | Purpose and Highlights |
|---|---|
| Film Screening | 45-minute screening of Wheels of Change |
| Panel Discussion | Talks by auto engineers and EV educators |
| Group Projects | Case study presentations by trainees on EV policy impact |
| Teaching Tool Kit Launch | Lesson plans, worksheets, and screening guidelines provided |
| Feedback & Certification | Participants submitted reflective feedback and received e-certificates |
The event provided a platform for pre-service teachers to connect textbook knowledge with real-world industry transformation, enhancing their ability to later teach students about sustainable transport and vehicle technology.
Integration Into the Teaching Curriculum
DIET Karnal plans to embed the educational documentary on auto tech into the official curriculum for B.Ed and diploma teacher training programs. By combining film-based learning with class discussions, assignments, and field visits, teacher trainees will receive a well-rounded perspective on mobility trends in India.
The EV evolution India film will help teachers:
-
Use documentaries to explain technical topics in simple terms
-
Highlight India’s role in global EV development
-
Spark interest in STEM topics among schoolchildren
-
Guide students on environmental impacts of transport
Additionally, a follow-up activity booklet will be distributed to all trainees, encouraging them to create school projects and conduct debates on India’s transport future.
Wider Implications for Auto Education in India
The success of the DIET Karnal initiative could lead to similar programs in DIETs across Haryana and beyond. With rising interest in green transport and India’s push for EVs under the Smart Mobility Mission, this documentary-based approach can serve as a replicable model for:
-
Road safety and EV awareness weeks
-
Cross-subject teaching (science, social studies, environment)
-
School-led community outreach programs on pollution and fuel alternatives
The approach aligns with NEP 2020’s goals of integrating real-world problem-solving and multi-disciplinary content into teacher education.
Conclusion
By screening an educational documentary on auto tech, DIET Karnal has reinforced its role as a leader in modern, media-integrated education. The EV evolution India film not only deepens teacher trainees’ understanding of the transport sector but also prepares them to deliver impactful, relevant lessons to schoolchildren. As India drives ahead toward electric and sustainable mobility, equipping educators with such tools is essential for shaping responsible and aware future citizens.
