National Science Day Speech 2022: Edu institutions celebrate National Science Day – Times of India

Raman had discovered the famous ‘Raman Effect’ this very day 94 years ago in 1928 and was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1930. Since 1987, this day has been celebrated every year as Science Day to create a scientific temper in the youths. This year’s theme is ‘integrated approach in science and technology for a sustainable future.’

Speech Idea

While delivering a speech on this day you may recall the great scientist’s Bihar connection. The present-day students of physics might not be aware that once he had borrowed two pieces of diamond from the ruler of Raj Darbhanga Maharaja Rameshwar Singh for two days.

Raman had a great fascination with gemstones and he loved to study the optical characters of opals, moonstones, agates, rubies and diamonds in his laboratory.

For his study and research, C V Raman needed a large piece of diamond and he came to know that one such piece was in the possession of the Maharaja of Darbhanga, Rameshwar Singh. He immediately contacted the Maharaja who generously lent him two pieces of diamond. One was a 20-carat colourless and flawless stone. The other was an extraordinary gem of 140 carats-clear, pale yellow and about 3 cm in linear dimension. This diamond was supposedly the ‘Peshwa Diamond’, a diamond originally owned by Peshwa Bajirao and which Maharaja wore as a ring on his finger.
