About NSD

Every year since 1987, National Science Day is celebrated on 28th February to honor the great Indian Physicist Sir. C. V. Raman who won the Nobel prize of Physics. It was on this day in 1928, his discovery of the Raman Effect came to light at Indian Association for the Cultivation of Sciences, Kolkata. This breakthrough discovery brought the first Nobel prize in science for our country in 1930. Hence, the nation celebrates it as the National Science Day, an important day for Indian Scientific Community. It is a day to innervate young minds and to impart scientific spirit.
