[Report] Sourav Porel secured first position as the State Topper in the Online Indian Knowledge System Olympiad 2026, organized by the Central Sanskrit University, Delhi - January 2026

The Indian Knowledge System (IKS) is a multidisciplinary framework that encompasses India’s vast intellectual, scientific, and cultural traditions, spanning subjects like vedic mathematics, astronomy, Ayurveda, architecture, linguistics, philosophy, and more. Rooted in ancient texts, IKS offers valuable insights that remain relevant in modern times. It emphasizes holistic learning, sustainability, and the integration of traditional wisdom with contemporary scientific advancements. The Central Sanskrit University organises The Indian Knowledge System Olympiad every year. 

The Department of Sanskrit and Philosophy always encourages the students to participate in all such philanthropic programs. This year a number of students from the department participated in the IKS olympiad. Among them Sri Sourav Porel (B2250009), one of our PhD scholars in Sanskrit, has secured the first position as the State Topper in the Online Indian Knowledge System Olympiad 2026, organized by the Central Sanskrit University, Delhi, and has received a Gold Medal for his outstanding performance.

This remarkable achievement brings great pride to our institution. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to him and wish him a bright and successful future in his research endeavors.
