National Science Day

National Science Day

National Science Day is celebrated on the 28th February 2014 to commemorate the invention of the ‘Raman Effect’ by Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata  Raman, the noted physicist.

As a mark of respect for Sir C.V. Raman, Orchids organized a special programme in which some students of classes V to IX conducted different experiments to demonstrate the various principles of science that make the subject interesting.

 It was followed by a very enthusiastic debate by some students of classes VIII and IX in which they argued on the topic, ‘Is technology a boon or bane in the modern era’.

It was altogether a very lively presentation and discussion.
