In the year 2012, the then Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh paid tribute to Ramanujan on his 125th birth anniversary on 22 December. Then it was announced to celebrate this day as Mathematics Day and now 22 December is celebrated as Mathematics Day all over the country.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the virtual centenary celebrations of Aligarh Muslim University today.

This was the first time in over five decades that a Prime has been part of an AMU event. PM Modi has also released a special postal stamp to mark the occasion.

“We are heading to a path where no one is left behind because of religion and everyone is able to fulfill their dreams,” PM said.

“Whatever religion we are born in, it is important to see how to blend our aspirations with national goals. There can be ideological divides in society but when it comes to the nation’s development, everything else is secondary. When it comes to the nation, there is no question of ideological differences,” PM said.

“It is logical for me to say this here because AMU produced many freedom fighters – they had their ideological differences but they set that aside for freedom. Like freedom united them, we have to work on common ground for ‘Naya Bharat’,” he added.

The last time when a Prime Minister attended an event at AMU was Lal Bahadur Shastri that was back in 1964. Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank will also join the event via video conferencing.
