WHY WE CELEBRATE NATIONAL SCIENCE DAY ON 28TH FEBRUARY ? IN ENGLISH

February 28 is celebrated as Science Day in the country. This is the day when the great scientist of the country CV Raman invented the 'Raman effect', for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize.

The great physicist Sir Chandrashekhar Venkata Raman made an important discovery in the serious subject of physics on 28 February 1928. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930 for this important discovery made on the change in the rays of light upon passing through transparent matter. He was the first scientist not only of India but of Asia to receive this award.

In honor of this discovery, it is a practice to celebrate this day as National Science Day since 1986. In 1954, the Government of India awarded him the highest civilian award, the Bharat Ratna. The theme of National Science Day 2020 is 'Women in Science'.

The basic purpose of this day is to motivate students for new experiments in the field of science, attract them to science, and make them aware of science and scientific achievements.

On this day, programs related to scientific activities are organized in science institutes, laboratories, science academies, schools, colleges and training institutes. The Raman effect is an effective tool in the study of the molecular structure of chemicals.

On the occasion of National Science Day, there is a need for continuous advancement of science in the country, its main objective is to dispel the misconceptions in the minds of the people about nuclear energy, and only through its development can we raise the living standards of the people in the society.
