On 28th February every year, India celebrates the National Science Day to mark the glorious achievement of one of India’s best-known scientists, Nobel Laureate physicist “Sir C V Raman”. On this day in 1928, Sir C V Raman discovered the spectroscopy phenomenon that was named after him as the ‘Raman Effect’. He has inspired the nation to build its scientific and technological prowess for the welfare of the citizens.
National Science Day is celebrated every year based on different themes. This year’s theme is ‘Science and Technology for Specially-Abled Persons’. The present century’s advances in science and technology have transformed the lives of people all over the world. The specially-abled persons also have been the beneficiaries of these scientific innovations; especially with the introduction of gadgets that have made their lives easier and more comfortable. The primary emphasis has been on recognizing the specially-abled children and their needs, and empowering them with technologies that suit their demands.
