Please see our pages European Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad and India and International Math Olympiad and India. Surely, the performance of India and Indians over the years needs to be recorded as well for the International Biology Olympiad, the International Chemistry Olympiad, the International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics and the International Physics Olympiad. Indpaedia.com, being a volunteer-run encyclopaedia does not have the manpower to do so. Therefore, we invite details in the same format as our pages on the mathematics olympiads. These could be about one or two individual years, or from the beginning of Indian participation. Such information may please be sent as messages to the Facebook community, Indpaedia.com. All information used will be gratefully acknowledged in your name.
