SJAO -  Shine Junior Aryabhatta Olympiad Exam - 2024-2025

SJAO -  Shine Junior Aryabhatta Olympiad

Aryabhata: He was an Indian Mathematician and Astronomer. Born during the reign of Gupta dynasty, in Kusumapura, Patliputra, he is most famously known for the invention of the number zero. His most notable works include the Aryabhatiya and Arya Siddhanta, which completely revolutionized the fields of Mathematics and astronomy.

Aryabhatta became immortal for his contribution to mathematics when we invented 'zero'. We have named Shine Junior Aryabhatta after the great Indian mathematician and astronomer to encourage little champs to study mathematics and play with numbers.

Mathematics is often a dreaded subject at school. SJAO is designed to help children become friends with the subject and master it with ease right in their formative years.
