NATIONAL SCIENCE DAY CELEBRATION

“Science and and Technology Technology for for Susttainableainable Futur Future” e”

28th February 2018

ISRO Centre , Government of Machideva Road(HAL Airport Road), Vimanapura P.O., Bengaluru - 560 017 Sir C V Raman

Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, born in Tiruchirappalli in Tamil Nadu on 7th November 1888, was a renowned Indian physicist, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1930 for his ground-breaking work in Physics. His father Chandrasekara Iyer, was a lecturer in Mathematics and Physics. His mother was Parvati Ammal. Raman had a good and congenial environment from childhood to pursue intellectual activities. He passed his matriculation at the age of 11 and graduated from the Presidency College, with gold medals in Physics and English. He also passed the I.C.S. examination with flying colors. In 1907, while still in his teens, he was posted as Assistant Accountant General in Calcutta. However, he pursued his research in physics at the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS). He studied the diffraction of light and his thesis on the subject was published in 1906. In 1907, he completed his Master's degree in Physics, at the age of 19. Raman was awarded the Doctorate degree in 1921 by Kolkata University. He studied the physics of musical instruments like violin, mridangam and tabla. In 1924, he became a Fellow of the Royal Society. In 1925, he went to Russia to receive an honor from the Russian Academy of Sciences. In 1926, he launched the Indian Journal of Physics. Once during his return from Europe, Raman was amazed by the blue color of the sea. He did some experiments and during this voyage, Raman sent two papers to the journal Nature stating that the color of the sea was due to light scattering by the water molecules - a phenomenon he called molecular diffraction. Raman showed that the blue color of the sea is due to molecular scattering and not due to reflection of the color of the sky. Back home in India, Raman and his students studied the frequency shift of scattered light. The real discovery of the “Raman Effect” took place on the 28th of February 1928 when he pointed a direct vision spectroscope on the scattered track and observed that the scattered light contained not only the incident color but at least one other which was a clear demonstration of change in wavelength due to scattering. His research on “Raman Effect” was awarded the Nobel Prize by the Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1930. The honored him with Bharat Ratna award in 1954. He was also awarded Lenin Peace Prize in 1958. He believed that his life was reserved for science.

Sub: Celebration of National Science Day (NSD)-2018

Dear Sir / Madam,

`National Science Day' is celebrated all over India on 28th February every year with great passion and enthusiasm to instill the spirit of scientific reasoning and inquiry in the young minds. This day is celebrated in commemoration of the discovery of “Raman Effect” by the Indian Physicist Sir C.V. Raman in the year 1928, which fetched him the prestigious Nobel prize in Physics in the year 1930.

Alongside the celebrations in the country, we at ISRO Satellite Centre (ISAC), are organising several events open for school students and teachers in and around . The details of the events are given in this brochure. In addition to various events planned on the 17th and 24th of February, we are also organising one day celebration on 28th February which includes visit for students and teachers to the ‘Exhibition of and related aspects” in our centre. Please note that permission for schools to visit the exhibition is limited between 09.30 AM & 3.30 PM on 28-02-2018. You may plan your visit so as to be in time for the inaugural function at 9.15 AM on 28- 02-2018.

I take this opportunity to invite students from your school to take part in various competitions on the 17th, 24th and 28th of February and join us for the celebrations with a visit to the space exhibition at our centre on the 28th of February. Please refer the brochure for details of the events and send the nominations for participation in the competitions to reach us on or before 12th February 2018.

On behalf of the Organising Committee, it gives me immense pleasure to once again extend a warm welcome to students and teachers from your esteemed institution to participate in the events and make NSD grand success.

With warm regards, Yours sincerely,

(Dr. Anil Agarwal)

1 National Science Day - 2018 Theme “SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FOR SUSTAINABLE FUTURE”

Science and Technology go hand-in-hand and have always played a pivotal role in the significant growth of mankind from the age-old era to till date. In today’s wake of life, we appreciate the accomplishments of science and technology in every minute of life.

A sound knowledge and deep understanding of science aids development of technology which equips us to find solutions for various economical, social and environmental challenges that we face in our day-to-day life. In order to achieve sustainable development, it is very much essential to encourage and equip ourselves with education at all levels and venture into research areas of science and technology. Involving every individual in one way or the other to bring out the best of science and technology for greener future with sustainable energy is the need of the hour.

Promoting science research in various domains to attain greater heights in technology can help in development of the country and hence in overall economic growth of the nation. While there is growth in technology with a vast and deep involvement in science, it is also important to note that we protect the environment to keep it greener for a healthy living. Therefore, we need to bring out innovative ideas and implement them with the help of science and technology for a sustainable future in the only green Planet we know of.

The pictures shown are two such initiatives taken in . On the left is the Wind mills in Chitradurga and the right is the solar park in Pavagada which when completed will be the largest such park in the world.

Therefore, it is time for us to stop and think about how we can reverse the current trends and start using science and technology to create a sustainable future.

A scientific knowledge of the Earth’s history, mineral resources , ecosystems, biodiversity, interaction of humans with ecosystems is the first step towards understanding how to manage our planet for a peaceful and a sustainable future. Building new technology to harness renewable sources of energy like solar power, wind energy, wave energy and other forms of green energy that do not cause pollution is the next step forward.

The focus of the presentation has to be on new ideas and concepts which will put Earth back on track in terms of climate, energy and natural resources. All participants are requested to send an abstract of their presentation, with a maximum of 5 slides. Selected participants will be allowed to present for 8 mins with an additional 2 mins for discussion and Q&A.

1 Vision of ISRO : Harness space technology for national development, while pursuing space science research and planetary exploration. ISRO Satellite Centre (ISAC) is the lead centre of the Indian Space Research Organisation(ISRO) responsible for design, development, assembly & integration of communication, navigation, remote sensing, scientific and small satellite missions.

The specialized teams of scientists, engineers and technicians of ISAC have built more than 100 complex & advanced satellites for various applications in areas of telecommunications, television broadcasting, VSAT services, tele- medicine, tele-education, navigation, weather forecasting, disaster warning, search and rescue operations, earth observations, natural resource management, scientific and space science etc.

Starting from to the recent 2 series including 103 co- passenger satellites, ISAC has demonstrated its capability to build state-of- the-art satellites for a host of applications.

After placing the Indian tricolor onto the Moon & exploring the frontiers of Mars, ISAC is now looking towards probing the unexplored frontiers of Venus and the Sun. In its quest to bring space technology for the benefit of common man and also to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos, ISRO envisages to bring unprecedented technological prowess to the nation.
