Hello Dear Parents,
From a Parent to a Parent,
Why Do We Celebrate National Science Day?
Every year on 28th February, India observes National Science Day to honor the remarkable discovery of the Raman Effect by Sir C.V. Raman in 1928. This discovery earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930 and put Indian science on the global map. This day serves as a reminder to encourage curiosity, scientific thinking, and innovation, especially among children, the future of our nation.
Great Indian Scientists Who Inspire Generations
Science in India has always been at the forefront of innovation, thanks to the contributions of brilliant minds who have shaped the way we understand the world today. Here are some inspiring scientists to introduce your kids to:
