As part of the celebration, two invited talks were delivered by faculty members of the Department of Mathematics. Dr Sazzad Ali Biswas delivered a lecture on the topic “Beyond 3.14: Why π Matters in Mathematics and Life” explaining the importance of π not only in geometry but also in various real-life applications and advanced mathematical concepts. The second talk by Dr Ranjana Mehta on the topic “The Theorem Tales” provided insights into interesting mathematical theorems and their significance, making the session informative for the audience.

The active participation of students, faculty members, Ph.D. scholars, and participants from other departments made the programme lively, engaging, and successful.
