In his recent address on the radio and television programme, Mann Ki Baat, Hon’ble Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi Ji guided a boy, Usman, to study Vedic Mathematics to succeed in competitive exams. He told him that knowledge of Vedic mathematics can help solve mathematical calculations as fast as a computer can. Later, our PM Mr. Modi, discussed about the new National Education Policy (NEP), and emphasised on developing a mathematical thinking and scientific temperament among children. Reiterating the concepts of great mathematicians, the Hon’ble Prime Minister said that mathematical thinking power means not just solving the problems of mathematics, but a way of thinking. After the incarnation of the new NEP, discussions have been taking place in the whole country about how it can be implemented. An important aspect of the Hon’ble Prime Minister with regard to its execution in the context of school education relates to the National Curriculum Framework and what should be incorporated in the school curriculum, which might reflect the fundamental points of the NEP as well as assist children develop critical thinking, as the PM suggested. In this context, it would be worth considering the possibility of including Vedic Mathematics. Before answering such essential concerns, it would be relevant to know what Vedic Mathematics is.
