Bridging the classroom and the research lab.

How can contemporary research reshape the way chemistry is taught—and how can classroom learning, in turn, connect students with the questions scientists are exploring today?

The Department of Chemical Sciences, TIFR, Mumbai, invites chemistry educators from UGC-affiliated colleges to a workshop bringing together teaching practice, research perspectives and direct interaction with TIFR scientists and students.

The programme spans chemical education, chemical biology, experimental learning, sustainability and green chemistry, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and emerging directions in chemistry education.

🇮🇳 Outstanding feat by Team India at the 67 International Mathematical Olympiad (#IMO2026) in Shanghai, China! Competing in the largest-ever IMO with 666 students from 117 countries, India secured 2 Gold and 4 Silver medals, achieving an (unofficial) global rank of 7th. 1/5

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

It is a matter of immense happiness that in the 37th International Biology Olympiad held in Vilnius, Lithuania, all four Indian team members secured medals, including one Gold.

Proud of Bhavyaa Gunwal, Soumil Maity, Nishit Kalani and Anmol Kumar for their success at the Olympiad. They have shown immense knowledge of subjects like Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, Animal Physiology, Animal Morphology and Systematics as well as Plant Computational Biology.

I am certain that this success will encourage several more youngsters.
