The National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM), founded in 1983 by the Indian Government, is a board in India intended to foster the development of higher mathematics, help in the establishment and development of mathematics centres, and give financial assistance to research projects and to doctoral and post-doctoral scholars. It is funded by the Department of Atomic Energy and is an autonomous body.[1] NBHM functions autonomously preparing its budget based on the funds made available by Dept. of Atomic Energy.
Programs
The NBHM gives direct financial support to the following (among others):
- The Mathematical Olympiads in India: NBHM finances the MO Cell and also arranges money for the IMO Training Camp and India's participation in the International Mathematical Olympiad.
- Undergraduate and masters' scholarships.[2][3]
- Research Scholarship[4]
For M.A. (Master of Arts) and M.Sc. (Master of Science) in Mathematics, NBHM conducts the Nationwide test.
The Institution
One of the most popular movements in the spreading Higher Mathematics in India taken up by NBHM is its funding to various university and institute libraries across India for books and journals in mathematics. NBHM manages its whole Library Movement through its National Library Committee. The business of the committee is divided into five major zones of India, viz. North, East, West, South and North Central zones. Besides extending the financial support to host of libraries in India, NBHM has recognized 12 libraries across India as the Regional Libraries. The Regional Libraries are expected to cater to the needs of the mathematicians and allied scientists in terms of library services. People from every walk of life can become a member of the Regional Libraries if they are doing research in mathematics of allied topics or if they are studying higher mathematics.
Nurture Program
National Board for Higher Mathematics in India, conducts a program (called Nurture Program) for 20 students of class XII, from the senior batch of the
The nurture program is of four-year duration. Each batch of students is assigned to a faculty of active research
