In order to commemorate the 128th birth anniversary of Dr. Srinivasa Aiyangar Ramanujan on 22nd December 2020, the CBSE invites schools affiliated to it to celebrate GANIT (Growing Aptitude in Numerical Innovations & Training) Week. For this purpose, the schools may conduct various activities during the GANIT week.
Celebrate GANIT Week:
- Mathematics Relay Race
- Solving Mathematical Puzzles such as solving Rubik’s cube and creating magic squares
- Interactive Session on Mathematics
- Quiz competition
- Mathematical games such as Sudoku and Kakuro
- Innovative Projects on Mathematics such as the Golden Ratio
- Conclude the week with an exhibition of all projects and activities taken up during the week
These activities are suggestive in nature and the schools are encouraged to innovate and organize other similar activities. It is expected that such endeavours will reduce the fear of Mathematics and make its study more interesting amongst students.
