Mathematical Olympiads

C. S. Yogananda has been involved with the Mathematical Olympiad movement in India since 1989. He has participated as a resource person and evaluated answer books for various regional (RMO) and national (INMO) Olympiads.[7] He was also an academic coordinator for the Problem Coordinators workshops organized by the National Board for Higher Mathematics. He was a member of the Core Faculty at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO)Training Camps and was also involved in the selection of the Indian Team in 1989. Yogananda was a member of the Organizing Committee (Computer Committee/Publications Committee/Problem Selection Committee) when India hosted the IMO in July 1996 in Mumbai.[8] Yogananda was an Observer and Deputy Leader for the Indian team participating in the IMO in the years 1993,[9] 1995,[10] and 1998.[11] During this time, India won 3 Gold, 10 Silver, and 4 Bronze medals in total.

Sriranga Digital Software Technologies

C. S. Yogananda established Sriranga Digital Software Technologies in 2003, with the primary intention of bringing digital technologies to the service of Indian languages. It addresses the need for powerful text formatting programs like TeX, LaTeX, Metafont, and OCR for Kannada while also developing huge digital archives. Sriranga Digital Software Technologies takes credit for digitizing a complete Rigveda Bhashya of Sri Sayanacharya that was first published under Sri Jayachamarajendra Grantharatnamala.

Advaita Sharada

C S Yogananda also created a digital archive of Sri Shankaracharya's works. The Advaita Sharada initiative has been recognized by the Jagadgurus of Sri Sringeri Sharada Peetham. The archive is a collection of Prasthanatraya Bhashya of Sri Shankara, his prakarana granthas and also the commentaries by later commentators of Sri Shankara. The archive tends to be a helping hand in understanding the works of Sri Shankara in more depth since it allows a complete search of the texts.
