DAE-Nurtured Olympiad Programme Powers India's Yuva Shakti at International Science and Mathematics Olympiads 2026
The Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) has played a pivotal role in India's exceptional performance at the International Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics Olympiads 2026, where India secured 12 Gold and 7 Silver medals, including historic 'Golden Sweeps' in Physics and Chemistry. This success is attributed to the DAE-supported National Olympiad Programme, spearheaded by the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE), a National Centre of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR). The program focuses on rigorous talent identification, training, and mentoring, demonstrating India's sustained investment in nurturing scientific talent and its emergence as a global force in science and mathematics.
