CIFA observes Science day

The Central Institute of Freshwater aquaculture (CIFA) here observed National Science Day to day hosting a Science Awareness Programme for School Children. Nearly 400 school children from neighboring high schools participated in the programme.
Dr A.E.Eknath, Director of CIFA said the day 28th February marked the discovery of Raman effect in 1928. Indian physicist Dr C Venkata Raman was the recipient of the Nobel prize for physics for the discovery that when light traverses a transparent material, some of the light that is deflected changes in wave length, this phenomenon is called Raman scattering and is the result of Raman effect.
