To promote advanced mathematics education and development in India, the Government of India established the National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM) under the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) in 1983. Since 1986, the NBHM has been responsible for organizing the mathematics Olympiad activities, currently conducted in collaboration with the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education in Mumbai. The primary objective of this initiative is to nurture mathematical talent among high school students. The NBHM is responsible for selecting and training the Indian team for the IMO each year. India is divided into 32 regions for the purpose of organizing the mathematics Olympiad. From these regions, the top six students are selected to form the Indian team, who then receive training from the best mathematicians in the country. This rigorous selection and training process

China dominates the International Mathematical Olympiad, multiple golds, near perfect scores.
India? Missing from the top ranks.
This isnโt just about #math. Itโs about mindset, investment, and long term vision in #education.
Thereโs a clear link between how a country nurtures its brightest minds and its #economicpower. ๐ก๐
China invests early in talent. India must too.
We donโt just need exam factories, we need innovation labs.
Letโs not celebrate mediocrity when brilliance is possible.
