Delhi Public School Pune hosted Takshila Matheletics – The Inter-School Mathematics Championship 2025-26 on 16th October from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The Math Carnival aimed to make mathematics engaging and experiential blending creativity, logic, and collaboration. The event was inaugurated by the Principal, Ms. Amita Singh, along with esteemed judges Dr. Vimal Sholapurkar, Dr. Gitanjali Phatak, and Ms. Twarita Kulkarni Shimpi.

The celebration began with a lamp-lighting ceremony, choir performance, and classical dance that showcased the harmony between maths and art.

The featured events included Math-e-Bola, Math-en-Act, Math-e-Kolam, Math Model-a-thon, Math Brawl, and Optical Illusion.
