These ideas have found expression through the famous and old symbol of the ‘Tree of Life’ which is taken as the basic motif for the logo and expressed in contemporary terms. The figurine at the bottom, representing the scholar, is seen reaching out to life in all its expansiveness and leading to knowledge and enlightenment.” Its motto in Sanskrit as stated in the emblem is ‘विद्या ददाति विनयम्’ meaning ‘Knowledge Gives Humility'.
