Included Vedic Mathematics to the primary curriculum, said Home Minister Rajnath Singh at Sharda University

Home Minister of India Mr. Rajnath Singh was at Sharda University Noida as the chief guest of a three daylong National seminar organized by The Indian Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics at the university campus. Honorable Minister lauded the initiatives taken by the ISIAM and Sharda University for promoting applied mathematics among students. He talked about the importance of mathematics in the field of industrialization and how applied mathematics has been crucial in developing business oriented and industrial solutions.

He elaborated that Indians have always been key contributors of the mathematics as we know it today. Ancient scientists and astronomers like Bhaskaracharya, Ramanujam and Aryabhatta have made integral additions to the field of mathematics. Decimal and Zero, which have become the foundation of mathematics have been findings of Indians.

Mr. Rajnath then talked about how, during his tenure as the education minister, he had made Vedic mathematics a part of the curriculum of primary classes and that it had positive manifestations among students. 

Professor B Bhattacharya said that the main idea behind this 3-daylong seminar was to bring mathematicians and scientists from world together on a platform in order to find new ways and innovations to make mathematics simpler and more relevant and effective.

Spokesperson for Sharda University said, “The Indian Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics is one of those few organizations that aim at promoting mathematics with a close relevance to its practical usage. It has already made branches like Mathematical Modeling and Numerical and Variational Techniques quite popular among students. Sharda University has also been encouraging applied mathematics among its students through its modern educational curriculum. ”
