National Science Day
" You can't always choose who comes into your life but you can learn what lesson they teach you. Success can come to you by Courageous Devotion to the task lying in front of you ".
- C. V. Raman
Greetings of National Science Day to all the scientists and science enthusiasts of our country. Let's leverage the power of science for human progress.
Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.
Science generates solutions for everyday life and is one of the most important channels of knowledge.
Article 51 A of our constitution which deals with fundamental duties makes it a duty of every citizen to develop Scientific Temper; (as per clause [h]).
It is the Scientific Temper that helps in developing Secularism, Humanism & Spirit of enquiry and Reformations. As law-abiding citizens , lets ensure to uphold scientific temper as a value.
If one could define Science, it would be 'an intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment'.
National Science Day is celebrated to spread a message about the importance of science used in the daily life of the people. To display all the activities, efforts and achievements in the field of science for human welfare.
It is celebrated in India on 28 February each year to mark the discovery of the Raman effect on 28 February 1928, and to discuss all the issues and implement new technologies for the development in the field of science.
To give an opportunity to the scientific minded citizens in India. To encourage the people as well as popularize science and technology.
Today, On National Science Day, remembering the legendary physicist and Nobel laureate Sir C. V. Raman. On this day in 1928, Sir C. V. Raman made the famous discovery of "Raman effect".
For his discovery, Dr. Raman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930. Which made him not only the first Indian, not only the first Asian but also the first 'non-white' to win Nobel Prize in science. He was also elected a fellow of The Royal Society in 1924. Sir C V Raman was a true legend indeed!
Life sketch of Sir CV
Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman was born at Tiruchirappalli in Southern India on November 7th, 1888. His father was a lecturer in mathematics and physics so that from the first he was immersed in an academic atmosphere. He entered Presidency College, Madras, in 1902, and in 1904 passed his B.A. examination, winning the first place and the gold medal in physics; in 1907 he gained his M.A. degree, obtaining the highest distinctions.
His earliest researches in optics and acoustics – the two fields of investigation to which he has dedicated his entire career – were carried out while he was a student.
Since at that time a scientific career did not appear to present the best possibilities, Raman joined the Indian Finance Department in 1907; though the duties of his office took most of his time, Raman found opportunities for carrying on experimental research in the laboratory of the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science at Calcutta (of which he became Honorary Secretary in 1919).
In 1917 he was offered the newly endowed Palit Chair of Physics at Calcutta University, and decided to accept it. After 15 years at Calcutta he became Professor at the Indian Institute of Science at Bangalore (1933-1948), and since 1948 he is Director of the Raman Institute of Research at Bangalore, established and endowed by himself. He also founded the Indian Journal of Physics in 1926, of which he is the Editor. Raman sponsored the establishment of the Indian Academy of Sciences and has served as President since its inception.
Raman has been honoured with a large number of honorary doctorates and memberships of scientific societies. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society early in his career (1924), and was knighted in 1929.
Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman – died on November 21, 1970.
Happy day dears! Thank you!
