Every year, February 28 is celebrated as National Science Day in India to honor the discovery of the Raman Effect by Sir C.V. Raman in 1928. This day is dedicated to recognizing the importance of science and its role in shaping the future. Schools, colleges, and scientific institutions across the country organize special events, exhibitions, and discussions to inspire young minds.

The Raman Effect, discovered by Sir C.V. Raman, earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930, making him the first Indian scientist to receive this prestigious honor. In 1986, the Government of India declared February 28 as National Science Day to spread awareness about the significance of scientific progress and its impact on daily life.
Each year, National Science Day is celebrated with a unique theme to highlight key scientific issues and advancements. The theme for 2025 is expected to focus on technological innovation, sustainability, and the future of science. This theme encourages students and researchers to explore new ideas and solutions for global challenges.
