To translate the vision of His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Ji to enrich the mind, body, intellect, speech and senses in such a manner that the individual lives in enlightenment, free from mistakes, enjoying learning, power and bliss, to unfold the inner Creative Intelligence of everyone and to improve learning abilities, in to reality, the Board of Directors of MVM Schools Group under the chairmanship of Hon'ble Chairman MVM Schools Group Brahmachari Girish Ji, decided to organize ‘Maharishi National Olympiad’ in Maharishi Ji's Birth Centenary Year in 2017–18.

His Holiness Maharishi Ji emphasizes "Competition is for the competent”. This approach moves learners far beyond rote memorization, sharpening their analytical abilities, logical reasoning, and creative thinking-skills that prove invaluable in all dimensions of student's life. Questions crafted for Maharishi National Olympiads are deeply application-based, encouraging students to think innovatively and apply theoretical concepts to complex, real-world applications which explore the learning opportunities in prestigious institutions in future.

It nurtures a balanced and healthy competitive spirit aligned with Maharishi Ji's principles of inner strength and self-growth. Number of subjects give students an opportunity to find their compatibility with the competent subject/streams. This depth of understanding often leads to enhanced performance in regular classroom assessments, board examinations, and other academic benchmarks.

The mindset, discipline, and analytical skills nurtured through Maharishi National Olympiads is an excellent preparation for competitive entrance examinations which makes it a much-needed program to enhance performance in a multi-dimensional way. In Maharishi National Olympiad 2024-25, it is encouraging to mention that students from class V to XII from more than 90 MVM schools across the country participated in various subjects i.e. Sanskrit, Science, Maharishi Vedic Science, Mathematics, English, & General Knowledge & Aptitude etc.

In medals category, for first three toppers in each class and for each of the above subjects. 109 Gold, 105 Silver and 122 Bronze Medals were awarded this year. Apart from medals, all the participants were awarded with certificates. In the cash awards category, students were also awarded with attractive cash prizes.

Winners of cash awards who secured AIR-I in every class amongst all the subjects and getting more than 90% marks, are mentioned below.

The Board of Directors of MVM Schools Group congratulates all the students for their splendid achievements. The Principals and coordinators who enthusiastically and successfully managed the entire process of Maharishi National Olympiad 2024-25 were also thanked by Board of Directors of MVM Schools Group for their contribution.

Worth mentioning that traditional Olympiads focus primarily on evaluating subject based academic competency, but the Maharishi National Olympiads adopt a more holistic approach by offering a wide range of subject options. This enables students to explore their competitive strengths more meaningfully, a distinction appreciated by academia as well as parents and guardians across the country. As an educationist I found this as the most comprehensive and structured program for school students.
