Abstract: The present study was conducted to find out the effectiveness of Vedic Algorithm for enhancing competency in multiplication at secondary level. Experimental method was used for this study. One -group pre -test post -test design was applied for this study. The study was conducted on a sample of 30 students of Kerala state syllabus. A multiplication ability test administered as pre test for checking the ability in multiplication. Time taken and score obtained by the students were checked. After that student were taught with Vedic method. The effectiveness of Vedic method in enhancing the competency in multiplication was found by administering the same test as post-test. The data collected were tabulated and analyzed statistically. The study reveals that there is a significant difference in the time taken by the students to complete the test before and after treatment for total sample and sub sample. The time taken by the students after treatment is less than before treatment. The study also reveals that a significant difference exists in the mean score between pre-test and post-test for total sample and sub sample based on gender. Mean score obtained by the students after treatment is greater than before treatment.
