National Science Day is celebrated in India on 28 February each year to mark the discovery of the Raman effect by Indian physicist Sir Chandrashekhara Venkata Raman on 28 February 1928.
CV Raman who carried out ground-breaking work in the field of light scattering, which earned him the 1930 Nobel Prize for Physics.
He discovered that when light traverses a transparent material, some of the deflected light changes wavelength. This phenomenon, subsequently known as Raman scattering, results from the Raman effect.
In 1954, India honoured him with its highest civilian award, the Bharat Ratna.
