Jalandhar, March 14, 2026:  Kanya Maha Vidyalaya (Autonomous) PG Department of Mathematics celebrated the International Day of Mathematics- Ganit Manthan 2026 (Pi Day) with great enthusiasm and fervor. 
The celebration was organized to celebrate Pi-Day and Birth Anniversary of Swami Bharti Krishna Tirtha ji, the father of Vedic Mathematics. The event was aimed at promoting mathematical awareness, creativity, and enthusiasm among students through a variety of academic and cultural activities. In alignment with the principles of the Indian Knowledge System (IKS), the programme also highlighted the rich heritage of Vedic Mathematics, emphasizing its role in enhancing mental calculation, logical thinking, and appreciation for India’s ancient mathematical wisdom. Since the celebration coincided with Pi Day, the significance and applications of the mathematical constant Pi (π) in areas such as geometry, science, engineering, and real-life problem solving were also highlighted. On this occasion, the Department organized several engaging events including Choreography, Skit, Rangoli Making, Sketch Making, and Mathematical Modeling, highlighting the versatile presence of Mathematics in the real world around us. The act “Ganit Manthan” was beautifully performed by the students, portraying the glorious journey of Mathematics from Ancient India to Modern India. The presentation reflected how mathematical knowledge has been continuously explored, enriched, and carried forward through the timeless legacy of Bhartiya Gyan Parampara. The programme witnessed active and enthusiastic participation from students of different classes, including M.Sc. Mathematics, M.Sc. Mathematics (FYIP), B.A., and B.Sc. (Non-Medical, Computer Science, and Economics). Students showcased their talent, creativity, and deep understanding of mathematical concepts through their performances and presentations. The Rangoli Making competition, conducted in teams of 2–3, beautifully reflected mathematical patterns and symmetry. The Sketch Making event highlighted artistic interpretations of mathematics, while the Mathematical Modeling competition enabled students to present the presence of mathematics in real life in innovative ways. The cultural events such as Choreography and Skit added vibrancy and excitement to the celebration. These performances effectively conveyed the significance of mathematics in daily life and society in a creative and entertaining manner. The enthusiastic response from students made the celebration a grand success. 
Director Prof. (Dr.) Atima Sharma Dwivedi averred that the programme successfully highlighted the beauty, relevance, and hope associated with mathematics. She lauded the efforts of Anand Prabha, Head, PG Department of Mathematics for organizing such a meaningful and vibrant celebration and in promoting mathematical thinking and holistic student development through innovative and engaging activities.
