The project director of the exhibition, Dr B L Malla said that the rock is the basis of the earth and existence and it is high time that we start educating ourselves at least about the basics. He mentioned how the cavemen or men before them used to survive because of rocks and the very first invention, the wheel, was made of rock. Fire used to be generated by rubbing rocks together so, this just explains how important it is.
