In India, the day December 22 has been declared as the National Mathematics Day. This day was celebrated at Podar International CBSE Aurangabad as a mark of respect to Indian Mathematical Genius Srinivasa Ramanujan.Mathematics is the pillar of Science and Technology. The advancement of human civilization can be somewhat attributed to this subject. Many modern discourses such as Numerology also have their origin in Mathematics. The credit for all these belongs to one and only Mr. Srinivasa Ramanujan. The Theory of Numbers developed by him became an asset, based on which, infinite series, permutation and combination and even probability were developed.

This idea cropped up in 2012 by UNESCO who agreed to sign a joint venture with India to spread the importance of mathematics throughout the globe. Dr.Manmohan Singh, the then Prime Minister of India, organized a seminar as 2012 happened to be the 125th birth anniversary of this great mathematician who was born in Chennai. Students were informed in that seminar how India contributed to the development of mathematics right from the Vedic period to the medieval ages. Sir Principal Ravindra Rana highlighted the contribution of Ramanujan .He also appreciated the contribution of the Maths Department and encouraged them to continue to bring great enthusiasm in students for mathematics.
