Mathematics Department is housed in a separate building ‘R.P. Paranjpye Memorial’ which was constructed from funds with Paranjpye Trust and UGC Grant. The Department shifted from Main Building to this new complex in 1970. In the recent past, Department continued its contribution to new trends in Education. Some of the noticeable achievements are:

Mathematics Olympiad activity at State, National and International Level. Unique Department in India that received National Board for Higher Mathematics (Dept. of Atomic Energy) Annual Grant
Bhaskaracharya Pratishthana a research Institute in Mathematics was established and housed in the department at the initial stages. The department is in Interaction with Research Institutes and Industry. The Departmental Library is supported by NBHM. The Department started new Post-Graduate Course, with CS
Department, M.Sc. Tech (Industrial Mathematics with Computer Application). Within a short period of time, the course has established its own reputation in Software and Process Industry.

Distinguished mathematician Padma Bhushan Prof. M S Narasimhan, Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) passes away.

Famous for Narasimhan-Seshadri theorem, he made pioneering contributions to differential & algebraic geometry.

He played key role in development of Mathematics in India.
He was the only Indian to be awarded with King Faisal International Prize for Science & First Chair of National Board for Higher Mathematics.

Prof. M S Narasimhan contributions are in the areas of Algebraic Geometry, Differential Geometry,Representation Theory of Lie groups and Partial Differential Equations. In Algebraic Geometry he has made pioneering contributions to the development of the theory of moduli spaces of vector bundles on curves and higher dimensional projective varieties. His work with CS Seshadri relating stable vector bundles on a curve with representations of the fundamental group has been a model for an enormous range of results relating algebraic geometry, differential geometry and non-linear partial differential equations. His papers with S Ramanan on Universal Connections and moduli of vector bundles, his work with G Harder which introduced canonical filtrations on algebraic vector bundles and his paper with K Okamoto on the concrete realisations of discrete series representations of Harish-Chandra have been highly influential. Several distinguished Indian mathematicians were his former research students.

Prof. M S Narasimhan has played a key role in the development of Mathematics in India and in developing countries by influencing several mathematicians and by creating structures for promoting research in Mathematics. He was the founding-Chairman of the National Board of Higher Mathematics of the Government of India. He was a member of the Executive Committee of International Mathematical Union (IMU) from 1982 to 1986 and President of the Commission on Development and Exchange of IMU (1986-94). He was an INSA Council Member (1977-79) and Vice-President, Indian Academy of Sciences (1980-82).

Prof Narasimhan was a Fellow of The Royal Society, London, Indian Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS). He is a recipient of Srinivasa Ramanujan Medal of INSA (1988). Among the other distinctions and awards he received are: King Faisal International Prize for Science (2006), TWAS Award for Mathematics (1987), CV Raman Birth Centenary Award of Indian Science Congress Association (1994), SS Bhatnagar Prize and Honorary Fellowship of TIFR. He was awarded Padma Bhushan by the President of India and "Chevalier de l'ordre du Merite" by the President of France.
