Remembering Raman!
State wages testimonial and expresses gratitude to Sir CV Raman and to all the scientists on this twenty-four hours for their mastermind and dedication.

The jubilations of this twenty-four hours include showcasing the country’s competency in the field of scientific discipline. The twenty-four hours has become important as it reminds us the importance of scientific discipline in social transmutation. Series of science-related events are besides held on this twenty-four hours in the state to animate people of all ages to work in the field of scientific discipline. technology and engineering.
Sir CV Raman was born into a Hindu Brahmin household in Tiruchirapalli. Tamil Nadu. Fortunately. he proved his academic excellence at a really immature age.

Science in modern-day India!
Life is impossible without the application of scientific discipline. Science has transported civilisation from the epoch of cave inhabitants to the clip of automatons.
Our scientists have achieved superb efforts in recent old ages. The launching of Chandrayaan I. India’s first mission to the Moon by the Indian Space Research Organization on 22nd October 2008 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre. Sriharikota. is an accomplishment to be proud of.
Besides. the ISRO is confident of set downing a motorized wanderer on the Moon in 2012. as portion of its 2nd Moon mission named Chandrayaan-II.
Science in the planetary economic system
In aftermath of the current planetary economic downswing there are opportunities that scientific discipline and engineering may endure a reverse. As a batch of fund is needed in research and experiments. it is but natural that the hapless status of planetary economic system may dry up financess traveling to this field. But the authorities should guarantee that deficiency of chance and commissariats should non deter our scientists because the solution to most of the world’ woes prevarications in their custodies.
