Celebrating India's Space Exploration on National Science Day 2024
National Science Day, celebrated on February 28, marks the discovery of the Raman Effect in 1928 by Indian physicist CV Raman. Who rocked the science world in 1928 with the Raman Effect. It's all about how light play actions in clear substance. This National Science Day 2024 theme is "Indigenous Technologies for Viksit Bharat". The day highlights the role of science in simplifying our lives, influence us to appreciate scientists' efforts. It inspires understanding the progress in science and identifying areas for further exploration. Let's proceeds a minute this day to redirect on the power of science and technology in our everyday life and celebrate the influences of scientists to human welfare.
In 2024, there are specific cool things happening with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Imagine this: excellent smart machines are currently part of our everyday life, like having a helper that not simply recognizes how we talk but also studies and adapts to our habits, making things easier and just for us. It's like tech is becoming a regular part of our day, and AI is making things way better than we ever thought possible.
This science festival is all about celebrating what we've achieved in science, talking about new and cool technologies, and giving a space for people who love science. On this day, there are lots of different things happening, like students showing off their science projects, scientists sharing their research, and all varieties of activities like speeches, exhibitions, debates, quizzes, and talks. Science centers all over the country, run by the National Council of Science Museums, join in to make these events happen. It's a way to get everyone interested and excited about science and technology.
On National Science Day, let's talk about the remarkable things that our Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is doing in space exploration. The coming NISAR mission, fixed to launch in March 2024 with NASA, is a great deal, presenting how India is touching forward in remote recognizing technology. ISRO's approach, using satellites with extra jobs, proves they're serious about scientific study. They've aced lunar missions, and the ongoing space adventures make ISRO a top player globally, inspiring other countries to team up for science. Huge cheers for Chandrayaan-3, which secured a perfect landing near the moon's South Pole on July 14, 2023. It proves India's dedication to exploring the moon. The careful landing of the Vikram lander, packed with extra features, and the laser experiment with NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter show how ISRO rocks in tech and teamwork.
On National Science Day 2024, as we celebrate our scientific activities, let's shine a light on the unbelievable growth happening in India's education sector. Between April 2000 and September 2023, there was a huge entry of US$ 9.44 billion in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into education, presentation how essential this sector is. Creativities like the Skill India Digital platform and the "Education to Entrepreneurship" partnership are all about making skills better and more innovative. The Union Budget in 2023 putting Rs 1.12 lakh crore (US$ 13.5 billion) into education is a huge step forward. Plans like the National Curriculum Framework for School Education and the National Digital Library show a complete approach to education. On this National Science Day, let's realize how science, tech, and innovation are making our education system ready for an awesome future in the 21st century.
National Science Day is a big deal in our ever-changing world because it's all about celebrating how science is making a difference in our lives. It's like a boost for science in our country, especially for young people, encouraging them to jump in and use science to solve big problems worldwide. The day also tells us that India is teaming up with other countries to make scientific things happen. We get to hear about the awesome substance Indian scientists are up to, and it makes us feel proud and excited, making kids dream about becoming scientists themselves.
Finally Note
As we celebrate National Science Day, Chandrayaan-3's success becomes a testament to India's scientific excellence, inspiring future space endeavors and contributing to the global legacy of lunar exploration. Happy National Science Day!
