National Science Day is observed on the day Indian Physicist Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman discovered the Raman Effect. The Raman Effect is the phenomenon where light gets scattered when passed through a transparent material, leading to changes in wavelength and energy. In 1928, on February 28, CV Raman discovered the Raman Effect. He also received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930 due to his significant contribution to the field of Physics. Commemorating the discovery, National Science Day is observed on February 28 every year.
The theme for this year's National Science Day is - Indigenous Technologies for Viksit Bharat. The day is observed to raise awareness about the importance of scientific applications in our daily lives. The day also aims to celebrate and acknowledge the efforts and achievements of scientists in human welfare. The best way to observe National Science Day is by understanding the way science and technology have progressed and exploring the spaces where more efforts need to be made.
We paying tributes to great physicist Sir C.V Raman Ji. His groundbreaking work continues to inspire a new generation of innovators, researchers & scientists, who are popularising the benefit of scientific discoveries & contributing to the economic development of the country.
