NATIONAL SCIENCE DAY

 

India has a great heritage of Science and Technology which we all can be proud of. The world accepts that our past had a lot to offer. Our Vedas and other scriptures are full of such incidents and anecdotes where our scientists, mathematicians, astronomers, astrologers and engineers made brilliant innovations which were appreciated and pursued bythe world.

 

In order to honour the contributions of these great scientists, the National Science Day is celebrated each year on February 28. 

 

This coincides with the discovery of Raman Effect by the great Indian Physicist, Nobel Laureate Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman (CV Raman).

  

‘Sir CV Raman’ was awarded with the ‘Bharat Ratna’ in 1954 for making India proud in the field of Science. To keep that dynamic instinct alive, schools and colleges all over India celebrate 'National Science Day'every year with great fervor by organising science exhibitions, seminars, symposiums and other competitions.

  

This provides students and young scientists various opportunities to showcase their innovative ideas and talents. This goes a long way in popularizing science among a new generation of students.

  

Every year a theme is chosen to befit the contemporary scenario. Last year the theme was Women in Science.

  

This year the theme is ‘FUTURE OF STI: IMPACTS ON EDUCATION SKILLS AND WORK.’ The theme was decided by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. 

 

Nothing can be more relevant than this in the current situation. We all saw unusual situations this year due to the pandemic. This posed the biggest danger to education worldwide.

However, it is widely accepted that in India, we not only managed to save the academic year but learned many new ways that will go a long way in assuring the reach of education in every nook and corner of India. 

 

All this has become possible due to relevant improvisations in the world of education done by the educationists and academicians.

  

The Mann School is second to none in the use of innovative methods in the field of education. We are proud to say that we not only managed to continue imparting education but ensured that no education gaps are occurred.

 

And, we will continue to make sure that our beloved learners get the best of learning experience forever.

 

Happy National Science Day to everyone!!!
