National Science Day is celebrated in India every year on February 28 to commemorate the discovery of the Raman Effect by Sir C. V. Raman on this day in 1928, a breakthrough that earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930. The day aims to promote scientific awareness, inspire young minds to pursue careers in science, and honor the contributions of Indian scientists. Schools, colleges, and scientific institutions across the country organize events such as exhibitions, lectures, and workshops to highlight the importance of science in daily life and its role in national development.
