India clinches four medals at EGMO for maths Olympiad
India won two Silver and two Bronze medals at the 14th European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad (EGMO) 2025 in Prishtina, Kosovo, achieving a milestone at the global level. The win is significant as India's all-girls team secured 12th place overall at EGMO. Sanjana Chacko (16) from Kerala and Shreya Mundhada (15) from Mumbai won silver medals, whereas Saee Patil (18) from Pune, Maharashtra and Shreya Gupta Ray (18) from Kolkata won the bronze medal. The four-member team was led by Dr. Mrudul Thatte from the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR). EGMO, an annual mathematics competition, was held last week from April 11 to 17, with at least 50 countries participating in the competition. The competition has been designed for high school girls passionate about maths, encouraging young females to become scientists and boosting the number of girls in International Olympiad movement (IMO) teams. 'Such competition inspires girls and builds confidence that they can compete with the world. It took India three decades to be at this point, so this achievement is significant and important that girls can do equally well in maths,' said Arnab Bhattacharya, a Central Director of Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE). HBCSE- TIFR identifies and nurtures students for participation in international Olympiads in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy, and Mathematics. HBCSE-TIFR comes under the purview of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Government of India. 'We attribute this success to the dedicated efforts of past medallists, as well as the structured training provided through the EGMO Training Camp (EGMOTC) by HBCSE and continuous support provided by the National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM) and DAE for this Olympiad Program,' said HBCSE spokesperson Sumana Amin.
