New Delhi [India], July 21 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed happiness over India's exceptional performance in the International Maths Olympiad (IMO), where the country secured its best-ever 4th place finish.

Taking to the microblogging site on X on Sunday, the Prime Minister posted, "It's a matter of immense joy and pride that India has come in 4th in its best-ever performance in the International Maths Olympiad.""Our contingent has brought home 4 golds and one silver medal. This feat will inspire several other youngsters and help make mathematics even more popular," read the post by the Prime Minister.

The Indian team came in fourth globally, securing four gold medals, one silver medal, and one honourable mention at the just concluded 65th IMO held in Bath, United Kingdom.
