The theme of National Science Day 2023, relesed by Union Minister of State Science & Technology, is “Global Science for Global Wellbeing,” in light of India's G20 presidency.
Each year National Science Day is celebrated on 28 February to mark the discovery of the ‘Raman Effect’ by Indian physicist Sir C. V. Raman on 28 February 1928.
Sir C.V. Raman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on scattering of light in 1930.
I recall my ‘Naitional Award for Science Pluralization among Children’ being conferered at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi in 1989 by then Prime Minister VP Singh. At that time, I was working as Principal, Kendriya Vidyalaya-2, NFL, Bathinda.
A set of 20 films was made on my work by the NCERT at its Central Institute od Educational Technology (CIET). I was deemed as a major contributor to science education by a book on Indian Science.
Also, the NCSTC of Department of Science and Technology, published a book with me as lead author and the Punjab State Department of Science and Technology, published 4 books in Gurumukhi.
