National Science Day: History and Significance
In 1928, an Indian scientist named Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman discovered a phenomenon known as the Raman Effect. For his remarkable discovery, he received the Nobel Prize in 1930, and that was the first Nobel Prize in India in the field of Science, every year National Science Day is observed to celebrate this discovery.
In 1986, the National Council for Science and Technology Communication (NCSTC) requested that February 28 be designated as National Science Day by the Government of India. The occasion is now held in schools, colleges, universities, and other science, engineering, medical, and research organisations throughout India.
