National Science Day

National Science Day is observed on 28/02/2026 in India. It commemorates Sir C.V. Raman's 1928 discovery of the Raman Effect, for which he later won the Nobel Prize. The day is typically marked by science exhibitions, quiz contests, and public lectures at research institutions across India.

For schools, offices and government bodies, this date often means half-day schedules, special assemblies, or public holidays depending on the state — worth checking your local calendar if you're planning around it.
