The Nurturing Mathematical Talents in Schools (NuMaTS) camp began on May 23, 2026, at the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) in Valiamala, India. This seven-day initiative is designed to identify and foster students from government and aided schools who demonstrate a strong aptitude for mathematics. The camp, organized by the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT), has attracted 235 students, primarily from class VI, who will receive specialized support in mathematics until they reach class X. The program aims to transform students' interest in mathematics into tangible talent through rigorous training and support. In addition to the main camp, selected students will have opportunities to attend special holiday camps organized at state and national-level mathematics institutions, further enhancing their skills. The inaugural ceremony was led by Dipankar Banerjee, Vice-Chancellor of IIST, and attended by SCERT director Jayaprakash R.K., along with other dignitaries from the educational sector, including IIST Pro Vice-Chancellor Kuruvilla Joseph and Mathematics department head T.G. Deepak.
