Bharat is celebrating Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, with the objective of commemorating seventy five years of progressive Bharat and the glorious history of her people, culture and achievements.
As a part of this grand festival, Vigyan Setu Foundation announces a National-level Essay Writing Competition 2021 on the occasion of National Mathematics Day.
Since ancient times, Bharat has been the home for various scholars who made significant contributions to mathematics including Aryabhata, Brahmagupta, Mahavira, Bhaskara II and the likes. Srinivasa Ramanujan, since his childhood, demonstrated signs of unfolding genius, and his contributions regarding fractions, infinite series, number theory, mathematical analysis and so on, set an example in mathematics.
National Mathematics Day is observed on 22 December, every year, to mark the birth anniversary of legendary mathematician, Srinivasa Ramanujan and his contribution in the field of mathematics. Celebration of National Mathematics Day aims at raising awareness among people about the importance of mathematics in daily life. Several initiatives are being taken to motivate, enthuse, and inculcate a positive attitude towards learning mathematics, especially among the younger generation of the country.
To realize this objective, Vigyan Setu Foundation through the proposed Essay Writing Competition, invites the young minds to explore any ONE mathematician from the land of Bharat and put down their achievements and contributions made to the world of mathematics, in the form of an essay.
