Abstract : This study explores the influence of Vedic Mathematics on problem-solving efficiency among teacher trainees at Dr. H.R. Gajwani College of Education. Participants completed two sets of worksheets—one using traditional methods and the other after a session on Vedic Mathematics. The results reveal that 62.1% of participants solved problems in under 5 minutes using Vedic Mathematics, compared to 0% with traditional methods, while 75.8% achieved perfect accuracy compared to 40.9%. Additionally, the study evaluates trainees' perceptions of Vedic Mathematics, focusing on its perceived usefulness, ease of understanding, and appeal. The findings highlight how integrating this ancient mathematical system into modern educational practices could significantly enhance teaching and learning experiences.
