National Science Day 2026

        National Science Day is one of the most important scientific celebrations in India. Every year on February 28, schools and colleges across the country celebrate this day to honour the discovery of the famous Raman Effect by Sir C.V. Raman.

🧪 Why Do We Celebrate National Science Day?

    National Science Day is celebrated to remember the historic discovery of the Raman Effect in 1928.  This discovery changed the world of physics and helped scientists understand how light scatters when it passes through different materials.
    
    This research was conducted in Kolkata, and it became so important that Sir C.V. Raman received the Nobel Prize in Physics for it in 1930.
