Exciting news for government school students in Karnal! The district has taken a groundbreaking step to provide free coaching for the International Mathematics Olympiad. This initiative aims to level the playing field and give talented students from all backgrounds a chance to shine on the global stage.
A First for India
Karnal has become the first district in India to offer free Olympiad coaching in government schools. This pilot project could pave the way for similar programs across the country, opening doors for countless bright young minds.

- Classes will be held twice a week (Thursdays and Fridays) from 12:30 PM to 4:00 PM
- Four dedicated teachers per school center will guide the students
Benefits for Students
Participating in the International Mathematics Olympiad can lead to incredible opportunities:
- Exposure to advanced problem-solving techniques

- Potential scholarships to prestigious universities worldwide
- Boost in confidence and academic performance
What Students Are Saying
Mahak, Himanshu, and Deepanshi, students selected for the program, shared their excitement:
"We didn't even know about these high-level tests before. This is a great opportunity for students like us who couldn't afford private coaching. Now we can dream big too!"
Looking Ahead
The success of this math-focused program could lead to expansion into other subjects like physics and chemistry. Karnal is setting an example of how to nurture talent and create equal opportunities in education.
The Bigger Picture
This initiative is more than just about winning medals. It's about:
