Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) every year, as the date corresponds to the first three digits of the mathematical constant Pi. Pi is an irrational number representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159... 

The first Pi day celebration was organized by physicist Larry Shaw at the San Francisco Exploratorium in 1988. Today, Pi day is observed globally, with math enthusiasts, schools, and organizations hosting events, competitions, and activities to promote mathematics education and appreciation. The Mathematics Department conducted some programmes on Pi day.

The first programme was a talk by Anusha from second year mathematics about pi day at the morning assembly. Anusha talked about the history of pi day.

The second programme was the Rubik’s cube solving.It had only one guidelines that to solve the cube in a minimum time. Amaya kv from 1st year English got first prize ,she solved the cube in 1minute 46seconds. Abhijith k from 2nd year biological science got second prize

The third programme was the Pi value memorization. The guidelines were the participants can read the values before the time starts, the winner would be who correctly say the maximum numbers in minimum time. The programme was a great success. The students supported the participants well. Vaishnav S from 1st year Physical Science got first prize by say 46 digits after the point. Neha Fathima from 1st year Physical Science got second prize by saying 41 digits after the point. Anjuna P V from 2nd year Physical Science got third prize by saying 22 digits after the point.
