Olympiad Foundation has been striving for over a decade to promote
scientific attitude through innovative activities and use of IT in
learning process that involve school students across the country.
In the present times when the world is totally
pivoted on science and IT, it is pertinent to think and plan about the
future - a future in which the children of the present shall be the
leaders of tomorrow. Regular qualitative and quantitative assessment
needs to be done at the national level in order to build up the
scientific and IT talent pool. It is in this sphere that the role of SOF
has been much appreciated over these last few years, so much so that
highly reputed organizations like WIPRO, LG, Reliance, Aakash Institute,
