Dear reader’s…………………
We are very glad to share our experiences about Rashtrapati Nilayam visits on behalf of national science day celebrations held at bollaram, Hyderabad on 27th February-2025.
Honorable famous institution directors and senior scientists are shared their experiences and motivated about importance of technology in global era.
National Science Day is observed every year on February 28 to commemorate the discovery of the Raman Effect by Sir C.V. Raman, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930. This day serves as a tribute to Indian scientific achievements while inspiring young minds to pursue careers in science, technology, and innovation. The theme for National Science Day focuses on “Advancing Science for a Sustainable Future”, emphasising the role of scientific research in addressing global challenges such as climate change, healthcare, and technology. National Science Day plays a crucial role in promoting scientific awareness among students, educators, and the general public.
Rashtrapati Nilayam in Bolarum is hosting two-day celebrations from February 27 to 28 to commemorate National Science Day. The event features a variety of sessions and competitions aimed at promoting scientific curiosity and engagement among students and the public.

This event was graced by Dr. Chintakagiri Mohan Rao, Former Director (CCMB) and SS Bhatnagar Awardee, and Dr.Sesikeran Boindala, MD, FAMS, Former Director of ICMR – National Institute of Nutrition. The Scientific R&D exhibits and book exhibition was inaugurated by the guests.
Mohan Rao provided an insightful overview of the Raman Effect, shedding light on its significance in the field of spectroscopy. He explained how this phenomenon, discovered by Sir C.V. Raman, occurs when light is scattered by molecules and emphasized its role in explaining natural phenomena such as the blue color of the sky and the sea. He described how the scattering of light by molecules, a result of the Raman Effect, causes shorter wavelengths, like blue, to be scattered more than others, giving the sky and sea their characteristic color.

He emphasized the importance of mindful cooking, using biryani as an example to demonstrate how proper preparation can preserve nutritional value and reduce health risks. Dr. Boindala also addressed the rise in early heart strokes among impoverished communities, attributing this to poor maternal nutrition and low birth weight. Additionally, he discussed the higher incidence of large intestine cancer in Asians compared to Africans, linking this disparity to diet and lifestyle factors, including high processed food intake, low fiber consumption, and lack of physical activity. The inauguration of these celebrations included welcome dances by Punya Keerthi and a curated dance on science by CRPF public school students.
We are very happy of participating in various events and competitions like poster making( ranjana bai and nithya –viii newton) and quiz competition ( akshay, utthej, deeksha sri,sumayya and rahul from ix newton).it is good experience to learn more things from the various scientific stalls and galleries.
So finally we are very happy about our representation in the great event organized at Rashtrapati Nilayam on Wednesday 27th February.
We thank management for giving us this opportunity .
