Event Details
National Science Day is celebrated annually on 28th February to mark the anniversary of the discovery of Raman Effect by Prof. C.V. Raman, a discovery that fetched him the coveted Nobel Prize in 1930. Science Day is celebrated in India as a powerful advocacy tool to raise public awareness about science and for popularizing science among the masses. This year’s Science Day theme is “Future of Science, Technology and Innovation: Impacts on Education, Skills and Work.”
National Science Day is also the day the Central University of Punjab was established in 2009 by an act of parliament. Today, CU Punjab is a NAAC A accredited university that ranks consistently at No. 1 position among newly established Central Universities in NIRF university ranking framework.
