With more than 40 schools across the city introducing the concept of Vedic Mathematics - till recently considered some kind of an esoteric science - the interest in the subject is catching on.

Vedic Mathematics is an ancient system of mathematics, a technique of calculations based on simple rules and principles, with which any problem - be it arithmetic, algebra, geometry or trigonometry - can be solved orally.

Workshops on Vedic Mathematics are emerging as a novel and productive way of keeping students busy, especially during weekends and vacations. A trend seems to be catching up fast.

Vivek Astunkar, a consultant and Vedic Mathematics tutor in Navi Mumbai, says, "I have trained more than 5,000 students in the past one and half years. Having conducted workshops in more than 15 schools around Navi Mumbai, I can vouch that the performance of the students has gone up by notches."

"We train more than 500 students a year. The competence levels of the students have certainly got better," says Dr J J Rawal, president, Indian Planetary Society.

Maths is no longer scary for students, thanks to this ancient science. Raj Sippy, a tutor in Govind Raj VM Academy says, "All students trained in my academy have registered a 15 per cent improvement in academics, especially Maths."

"The course helps students to sharpen and speed up logical reasoning. It's almost 50 times faster than the time taken to solve a problem with usual mathematics," said Rawal.

Daisy Misti of DPYS School in Wadala said, "After doing a workshop on Vedic Maths, our students have shown marked improvement in the terminal exams held soon after." The Govind Raj VM Academy has trained over 4,000 students including three schools.

Jaya Ahuja, mother of 16-year-old Smithi is happy with her daughter's performance at school after she attended a workshop on Vedic Maths.
