In the year 1928, to remember the invention of "Raman effect" in India by Sir Chandrasekhar Venkata Raman, Indian physicist, on 28th February, every year, National Science Day is celebrated throughout India with great enthusiasm. In the year 1930, Chandrasekhar Venkata Raman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in order to achieve great success in science.

National Science Day in India will be celebrated on Wednesday, 28th February, on Wednesday.

History of National Science Day in India

28 February 1928 in India was a great day when the invention was completed in the field of Indian science by famous Indian physicist Chandrasekhar Venkata Raman. He was a Tamil Brahmin and he was the first person in the field of science who researched such invention in India. In order to always remember and honor this program in the future, in the year 1986, the Indian Council was asked by the National Council for Science and Technology Communication to nominate February 28 as National Science Day in India.

Since then, National Science Day is celebrated throughout the year as a great program in the field of Indian science. It is celebrated by students, teachers, institutes and researchers every year in schools, colleges, universities, technical and research institutes of India, including all academic institutions including medical, academic, scientific. On the occasion of the first festival of National Science Day in India, the National Council for Science and Technology Communication had announced the award of the National Science Publicity Award for a laudable effort and excellent recognition in the field of Science Communication and Publicinization.

Sir Chandrasekhar Venkata Raman worked in Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science from Calcutta in West Bengal from 1907 to 1933, during which he had researched many points of physics, from which the "Raman effect" (effect on the spread of light When he is lived by various objects), his great success and discovery became famous in Indian history. He was honored with many Indian awards, including the Noble Prize for his great invention in the year 1930. Since the year 2013, "Raman Effect" has been nominated by the American Chemical Society as the International Historical Chemical Landmark.

During the National Science Day celebration of the year 2009, for the purpose of universalization and modernization of modern science in the country, the National Award for Science Communication to recognize the major efforts and achievements of Indian scientists of government and non-government organizations, Indian Department of Science and Technology has been rewarded. In recognition of its major contributions to science, the year 2009, Vikram Sarabhai Community Science Center was given the highest award.

In order to identify the scientific activities and programs by scientists from the State and the National Department, the participation of students from schools and colleges, the celebration of National Science Day was started. This program provides a perfect platform for many new scientists to polish their lives in the profession of science and to regain their feet.

How National Science Day is celebrated

Every year, National Science Day is celebrated as one of the main science festivals in India, during which students of school and college exhibit various science projects, as well as national and state science institutions display their latest research. This event includes public exhibitions, radio-TV talk shows, science exhibitions, topics and concepts based on science exhibitions, night sky watching, live projects and research exhibitions, discussion, question-answer competition, speech, science model exhibition etc. There are activities.

It is celebrated every year with gigantic meteorite radio telescope (also known as GMRT) in Khodad, which is celebrated every year with the big Junoon, which was established by the TIFR (Tata Institute of Fundamental Research) by the National Center for Radio Astrophysics, Low Radio Frequencies There is a famous telescope all over the world to operate.

In the field of radio astrophysics and astrophysics, various activities are organized by NCRA and GMRT in the celebration of the National Science Day celebration to recognize their main research activities. In the country, a variety of programs are organized for the general public and students for universalization of science and technology.

The Minister of Science and Technology, on this day by his speech, gives a message to students, scientists, researchers and ordinary citizens of the nation.
