| Two-week NCM-funded Mathematics school begins at NIT Srinagar | | Leading mathematicians from premier institutes to train participants |  Srinagar, June 29 (Scoop News)-A two-week Instructional School for Teachers (IST) on “Theoretical and Numerical Aspects of Partial Differential Equations: Application to Flow Dynamics” began on Monday at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Srinagar.
The programme, held from June 29 to July 11, 2026, is organized by the Department of Mathematics, NIT Srinagar, and funded by the National Centre for Mathematics (NCM), a joint centre of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, and IIT Bombay.
The event has brought together 42 eminent academicians, researchers, and teachers from across the country to engage in advanced discussions on partial differential equations and their real-world applications in flow dynamics.
The inaugural session was attended by the In-charge Director of NIT Srinagar and Dean Research & Consultancy, Prof. Roohie Naaz, along with faculty members, scholars, and participants.
Addressing the gathering, Prof. Roohie Naaz emphasized the importance of advanced mathematical research in solving complex scientific and engineering challenges.
“Mathematics remains the foundation of innovation across disciplines, and such instructional schools play a vital role in promoting research excellence, academic exchange, and capacity building among educators and researchers,” she added.
In his message, Director NIT Srinagar, Prof. Binod Kumar Kanaujia, said the instructional school reflects the institute’s commitment to academic excellence and cutting-edge research.
“The advanced mathematics remains central to scientific innovation and this programme would foster meaningful research collaborations and intellectual growth among participants,” he added.
Registrar Prof. Atikur Rehman said that such academic initiatives strengthen the learning ecosystem of the institute and provide valuable opportunities for knowledge exchange.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Zamrooda Jabeen, Head of the Department of Mathematics, elaborated on the scope and academic value of the instructional school.
She added that the workshop would open new avenues for interdisciplinary research, innovation, and collaboration in applied mathematics and computational sciences.
The Convenor of the event, Assistant Professor Dr. Atendra Kumar, welcomed the participants and outlined the objectives of the school.
He noted that the programme is designed to bridge theoretical foundations with practical computational techniques, enabling participants to enhance their teaching and research capabilities in mathematical modelling and flow dynamics.
During the event, Prof. Rajendra K. Ray (IIT Mandi) addressed the audience and shared valuable insights into the vision and academic contributions of the National Centre for Mathematics, underlining its role in fostering excellence in mathematical education and research across India.
Associate Dean Academics, Dr. Harkirat Singh also attended the inaugural session. Faculty members from the Department of Mathematics actively participated in the programme, including Dr. Mehraj Ahmad Lone, Dr. Rameez Raja, Dr. Mushtaq Ahmad Bhat, Dr. Owais Ahmad, Dr. Idrees Qasim, Dr. Saleem Yousuf, Dr. Bilal Ahmad Wani, and Dr. Sivaramakrishnan.
The two-week intensive workshop will feature a structured academic schedule comprising lectures and tutorial sessions led by distinguished experts.
Prof. Muthukumar T from IIT Kanpur will conduct the lecture sessions during the first three days, focusing on foundational theoretical concepts. These sessions will be followed by tutorials facilitated by Dr. Atendra Kumar and Mr. Arindam Sarkar (IIT Mandi), ensuring practical engagement and conceptual clarity.
From July 2 to July 4, lecture sessions will be delivered by Prof. Rajendra K. Ray (IIT Mandi), with tutorial support from Dr. Atendra Kumar and Mr. Arindam Sarkar (IIT Mandi)
These sessions will focus on advanced mathematical frameworks and problem-solving methodologies related to flow dynamics.
In the second week, Dr. Tanmay Sarkar (IIT Jammu) will lead lectures from July 6 to July 8, accompanied by tutorial assistance from Dr. Atendra Kumar and Mr. Andleeb Hamid.
The final phase of the programme, from July 9 to July 11, will be conducted by Dr. Atendra Kumar, with tutorial support from Prof. Rajendra K. Ray (IIT Mandi) and Mr. Andleeb Hamid.
Tutorial assistance throughout the programme will be provided by Mr. Arindam Sarkar (IIT Mandi) and Mr. Andleeb Hamid from NIT Srinagar, both of whom will play a crucial role in mentoring participants and facilitating academic discussions.
