Subtitle: Celebrating National Science Day to Promote Scientific Temper




National Science Day is observed across India on February 28th to commemorate the discovery of the 'Raman Effect' by Nobel laureate Sir C.V. Raman. Since 1987, this day has been celebrated to encourage students to engage in scientific experiments, foster fundamental knowledge, and cultivate a scientific mindset among the masses. Despite remarkable advancements in science and technology over the 75 years since independence, a significant portion of the population remains entrenched in medieval superstitions, blind beliefs, and ignorance. Pioneers of the Renaissance like Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, Akshay Kumar Dutta, and Mahendralal Sarkar fought to promote rationalism and establish a modern scientific education system. Unfortunately, the fertile ground for rational thinking they once cultivated is now gradually becoming barren. In this context, the Breakthrough Science Society celebrated National Science Day this year, urging everyone to abandon superstitions and embrace a scientific outlook. The event, held at Pendesh Chowmuhani in Agartala, included paying homage to renowned scientists, taking a pledge, holding discussions, organizing hands-on science exhibitions, anti-superstition shows, and sky observation through telescopes. These activities aimed to inspire a scientific temperament and combat regressive beliefs in society.
