NATIONAL SCIENCE DAY
In India, every year we celebrate National Science Day on 28 February to mark the discovery of the Raman Effect (inelastic scattering of photons by matter) by Sir C.V. Raman. Raman Effect discovery has revolutionized the understanding of light interaction with matter.
In 1986, the National Council for Science and Technology Communication (NCSTC) asked the Government of India to designate February 28 as National Science Day. The event is now celebrated all over India in schools, colleges, universities and other academic, scientific, technical, medical and research institutions.
The main objective of celebrating National Science Day is to encourage the Indian youth to develop an interest in and understand the importance of Science. On this day, students from across the country take part in state-level, and national-level competitions to demonstrate their science projects.
