A respectful homage & floral tribute to Dr. C.V.Raman who was Noble Prize recepient and Bharat Ratna as flashed by me on the f.b. on Nov.25,2010.

Bishwa Nath Singh :
How many of us remember that C.V.Raman was the first Asian to get Noble Prize in Physics in 1930 and our country's highest civilian award of Bharat Ratna in 1954 along with C. Rajagopalachari, the last Governor General of India and Dr. S. Radhakrishnan,the second President of India? Let us pay our floral tribute to him.as such illustrious son of our motherland seldom comes on this worldly earth.

Let us pay our floral tribute to him and pay our respectful obeisance's to his lotus feet!Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman was one of the most renowned scientists that our motherland had in her arms who had distinction to win Nobel Prize for... Physics in 1930. for his pioneering work on scattering of light who was the first Asian to be awarded with this prestigious.He was awarded the Franklin Medal in 1941 and our nation highest civilian award Bharat Ratna in 1954 and Lenin Peace Prize in 1957.In his honor, the 28 th of February of every year is celebrated to commemorate the day of discovery of Raman effect of the year 1928.

Chandrashekhara Venkata Raman was born on November 7, 1888 in Tiruchinapalli, Tamil Nadu. He was the second child of Chandrasekhar Iyer and Parvathi Amma. His father was a lecturer in mathematics and physics, so he had an academic atmospher...e at home. He entered Presidency College, Madras, in 1902, and in 1904 passed his B.A. examination, winning the first place and the gold medal in physics. In 1907, C.V. Raman passed his M.A. obtaining the highest distinctions.During those times there were not many opportunities for scientists in India. Therefore, Raman joined the Indian Finance Department in 1907. After his office hours, he carried out his experimental research in the laboratory of the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science at Calcutta. He carried out research in optics. In 1917 Raman resigned from his government service and took up the newly created Palit Professorship in Physics at the University of Calcutta. At the same time, he continued doing research at the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, Calcutta, where he became the Honorary Secretary. Raman used to refer to this period as the golden era of his career. Many talented students gathered around him at the IACS and the University of Calcutta.In 1917, Raman was offered the position of Sir Taraknath Palit Professorship of Physics at Calcutta University. He stayed there for the next fifteen years. During his tenure there, he received world wide recognition for his work in optics and scattering of light. He was elected to the Royal Society of London in 1924 and the British made him a knight of the British Empire in 1929. In 1930, Sir C.V. Raman was awarded with Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on scattering of light. The discovery was later christened as "Raman Effect".In 1934, C.V. Raman became the director of the newly established Indian Institute of Sciences in Bangalore, where two years later he continued as a professor of physics. Other investigations carried out by Raman were: his experimental and theoretical studies on the diffraction of light by acoustic waves of ultrasonic and hypersonic frequencies (published 1934-1942), and those on the effects produced by X-rays on infrared vibrations in crystals exposed to ordinary light. In 1947, he was appointed as the first National Professor by the new government of Independent India. He retired from the Indian Institute in 1948 and a year later he established the Raman Research Institute in Bangalore, where he worked till his death.He was honored with a large number of honorary doctorates and memberships of scientific societies. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society early in his career (1924) and knighted in 1929. In 1930 he won the Nobel Prize in Physics. In 1941 he was awarded the Franklin Medal. In 1954 he was awarded the Bharat Ratna. He was also awarded the Lenin Peace Prize in 1957.India celebrates National Science Day on 28 February of every year to commemorate the discovery of the Raman effect in 1928. He had won Noble Prize in science "for his work on the scattering of light and for the discovery of the effect named after him. He was the first Asian and first non-White to receive any Nobel Prize in the sciences.He died on November 21, 1970.The void created after his passing away is difficult to be replenished. He was indeed a great man. Such person seldom comes on this worldly earth. Let us pay our homage to him and pay our respectful obeisance's to his lotus feet and seek his bliss to give us wisdom to fulfill his long cherished dream of making India as a real prosperous & peaceful one!
