Themes of National Science day 2021
"Science is for the Welfare of the Whole World"
If we describe’ Science’ shortly, then it would be, the systematic knowledge based on experimental observations for an investigation, which is derived from the Latin word. The world-famous scientist once said – Science is blind without religion and religion is handicapped without science. Yes, it is absolutely correct and we must say the whole world is tied with the strong rope of science.
As we know nowadays science and applied science developing gradually & it is helping us to lead our life much better and easier. So, we can’t avoid science at all. It is a very important day to recall all the memory which science has given to us. Definitely, I will say that we must know about this Indian National Science Day.
History of National Science Day
The most eminent and outstanding Indian scientist Sir Chandrasekhar Venkat Raman (famously known as CV Raman) established his experimental thesis known as ‘ Raman Effect’, which he declared officially on 28th February in 1928.
He did a great discovery and globally became known for this contribution. Due to his discovery of the Raman Effect, he was honoured and awarded,
- The world-famous ‘Nobel Prize’ in 1930 in physics and he was the first Asian to receive this award in physics.
- Respectfully awarded with the 1st ‘Bharat Ratna’ award in 1954.
- And was also greatly honoured with the greatest award of Russia’ Lenin Peace’ in the year 1956.
The National Council for Science & Technology Communication made a proposal to our central government to observe National Science Day every year on 28th February to commemorate CV Raman’s great historic discovery Raman Effect.
Thereafter our government agreed to their declaration in 1986 and announced to celebrate National Science Day according to NCSTC’s proposal date. Then in 1987 on February 28 the first National Science Day was observed countrywide.
Objectives and purpose of celebrating this day
The main objective of this National Science Day is to aware people of our country about science. Add to this, it inspires children or students to choose science as their career. We can’t ignore them as they are our future to lead our nation in a progressive way. Many science-related programmes are organised to attract and inspire the thirsty students.
Likewise, our future generations by their extraordinary efforts achieve glorious success in the field of science and then yes, it will be our nation’s pride. The celebration purpose is to support and inspire new innovations of innovative scientists or students. The important aim of this celebration also is to make known publicly about the importance of science and scientific achievement of the whole world.
