National Science Day 2026: Women in Science Catalysing Viksit Bharat
.jpeg "National Science Day 2026")
Dosto, India celebrates National Science Day today, honouring the historic discovery of the Raman Effect by Nobel Laureate Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman on this very day in 1928. The occasion serves as a national platform to promote scientific temper, recognise excellence in research, and inspire the next generation of scientists. Chaliye is saal ki theme aur iske piche ke mahan itihas ko aam bhasha mein samajhte hain.
The Legacy of the Raman Effect
In his laboratory in Kolkata, Sir C.V. Raman observed that when sunlight passed through a transparent liquid, a small fraction of the light changed colour — a phenomenon now known as the Raman Effect. This groundbreaking discovery revolutionised the understanding of light and molecular structure. Just two years later, in 1930, Raman became the first Asian scientist to win the Nobel Prize in Physics.
2026 Theme: Women in Science – Catalysing Viksit Bharat
This year’s official theme, “Women in Science: Catalysing Viksit Bharat”, places the spotlight on the growing contributions of Indian women to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). As the nation works towards its goal of becoming a fully developed country (Viksit Bharat) by 2047, women scientists are playing a leading role in driving innovation and inclusive progress.
Women researchers now account for nearly 40 per cent of scientific publications and patents in India — a remarkable rise that reflects greater access and opportunity in STEM fields. Their work is solving real-world challenges: developing affordable healthcare solutions, creating drought-resistant crops, advancing clean energy technologies, and leading space missions at ISRO.
Inspiring Trailblazers & Nationwide Celebrations
From Kalpana Chawla, the first Indian woman in space, to Tessy Thomas, the ‘Missile Woman of India’, and Ritu Karidhal, who played a key role in the successful Chandrayaan-3 mission, Indian women continue to break barriers and set new standards of excellence.
Schools, colleges, universities, and scientific institutions across the country are organising science exhibitions, seminars, quizzes, workshops, and open-house laboratory visits. The Department of Science and Technology is leading the national-level events, with a special focus on motivating girls and young women to pursue careers in science.
The Road to Viksit Bharat
Science knows no gender. When women are empowered to lead in research and innovation, the entire nation accelerates towards progress. By celebrating women in science on National Science Day 2026, India reaffirms its commitment to building an inclusive, knowledge-driven society where every talent flourishes.
As Sir C.V. Raman’s legacy reminds us, curiosity and perseverance can change the world. On this National Science Day, let us pledge to nurture scientific thinking in every home, classroom, and laboratory — and ensure that women scientists remain at the forefront of India’s journey to greatness.
Jai Vigyan! Jai Hind!
