The theme decided for this year is "Women in Science." Commemorating the National Science Day, the country will see a number of programs organized at schools and colleges, and other higher education, research and technical institutions based on the theme earmarked for the year. National Science Day is an annual feature celebrated year on year right from 1987. Going to the roots National Science Day Commemorates the discovery of Raman Effect by Sir C V Raman, a renowned physicist and a thinker hailing from Tamil Nadu, India. On February 28, 1928, Raman discovered what was later labelled as Raman Effect, a wonderful light scattering phenomenon which created strides in the physics of Light. This notable discovery won him the Nobel Prize in 1930, a couple of years later. In 1986, the NCSTC recommended to the Government of India that February 28 could be designated as National Science Day. The First National Science Day (NSD) was celebrated on February 28, 1987. On this day, NCSTC announced institution of the National Science Popularization awards for recognizing outstanding efforts in the area of science communication and popularization. About Sir C V Raman Raman was born on November 7, 1988. Hailing from Thiruvanaikovil, Tiruchirapalli in Tamil Nadu, the great scientist and thinker carried out an outstanding research in the realms of light physics. After serving for several years with the government in the department of Accounts, he founded several organizations like Indian Science Academy, Current Science Association and Raman Research Institute and journals like Journal of Physics, Current Science, and others. In 1954, he was honored by the Government of India during his life time itself with the highest civilian award of the country Bharat Ratna. What is Raman Effect? A path breaking discovery in spectroscopy, Raman Effect refers to the change of wavelength of light when a light ray is deflected by molecules. C V Raman found that a fraction of the incident light is scattered when a light beam traverses through a dust-free, transparent sample of a chemical compound. While much of this scattered light has the same wavelength, a small part is found to have a different wavelength than the incident light. This feature is known as the Raman Effect, named in honor of the renowned scientist C V Raman, the brain behind this momentous discovery. Theme of National Science Day The National Science Day is celebrated with a wide range of events and programs like special programs on TV and Radio, science exhibitions, science movies, debates, quizzes, public speeches, live projects, and several other activities. Year on year, the theme of the National Science Day would be announced much in advance so that the programs can be tuned to the given concept. The theme of the NSD in 2020 is "Women in Science."

STEM jobs: Here are the average annual salaries for STEM-related job roles

"I have an exam tomorrow," Prime Minister <keyword id="6354477" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Narendra-Modi">Narendra Modi</keyword> said today referring to presentation of General Budget in Parliament as he gave a pep talk to motivate students appearing for board exams for which he even roped icons like <keyword id="6354267" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sachin-Tendulkar">Sachin Tendulkar</keyword> and Vishwanathan Anand. 

	Modi said he was "full of confidence" ahead of his "examination" by 125 crore people, a trait which he wanted students to emulate when they appear for their examinations for Class X and XII starting Tuesday. 
 In his monthly radio programme '<keyword id="6364850" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mann-ki-Baat">Mann Ki Baat</keyword>', he emphasised that students should appear for the exams with a "positive approach" having free and calm mind without any anxiety. He also asked parents not to put pressure on them. 

	In this context, he cited his example in the context of presentation of Budget which all the countrymen closely monitor and analyse.
 

	"Friends, your exams are starting. I too have exam tomorrow. The country's 125 crore people are going to take my examination," the Prime Minister said, while pointing out that Budget is being presented tomorrow.
 

	"But you must have seen how healthy I am feeling, how full of confidence I am. Let my exams take place tomorrow and yours day after and may all of us succeed so that the nation succeeds...Move ahead with a free mind, without any tension of success or failure," he said in his 35-minute programme.
 

	To lay stress on a positive and tension-free approach, Modi roped in Sachin, Anand besides Bharat Ratna scientist C N R Rao and spiritual leader Murari Bapu, whose messages were played during the programme. They gave their own examples of how they approached their exams in their respective fields, keeping tension aside.
 

	Underlining that "positive approach" and "positive frame of mind" help in all aspects of life, the Prime Minister talked about himself and said when he comes across some issues which he is not familiar with, he concentrates to deal with them.
 

	"Sometimes I feel tension within. Then I feel that I should relax a bit so that I feel good. So I have developed my own technique. I do some deep breathing. I take deep breath three times, five times. It may take a few seconds but my mind becomes ready to deal with the situation with a calm mind. This may be my experience but this may help you too," he told the students.
 

	Modi, a practioner of yoga, also referred to this art and mentioned how it helps in improving concentration and strengthening inner peace. 
 

	To motivate the students, the Prime Minister also invoked Thomas Alva Edison, who invented electricity, and J K Rowling of Harry Potter fame, saying their success had possibly come after many failures.
 

	"There is success in failure too" if there is a positive approach, he said, while asking students to have dedication, determination and diligence to achieve success. 
 

	Giving example of Sachin, Modi asked students not be burdened by expectations of others but set their own targets with "free thinking, free mind and independent capability".
 

	He told students that nobody can stop them if they set out to break their own records.
 

	The students should link their efforts to acheive big goals like Sachin and even if the targets are not achieved, do not be demoralised but try harder, Modi said. 
 

	Sachin, in his message played during the programme, said, "I understand that exams are starting in a few days. Many of you must be tense....I want to say that your thinking needs to be positive, then positive results will follow. So be positive. God will give you good results... Write the exams with free mind and results will be good."
 

	He said there will be many expectations of the students from their parents, teachers, family members and friends who all will keep enquiring about their preparations and their expected percentage. 
 

	"I will only say that you yourself set your targets and don't come under pressure of expectations of others. Work hard but set a realistic achievable target and try to achieve it," said the cricket icon.
 

	Giving his own example, he said, "When I played cricket, there were many expectations from me. In the last 24 years, there have been many tough moments and at times good moments also. But people's expectations kept rising with time. So I had to find a solution. I thought that I will keep only my expectations and set my own targets.
 

	"If I am able to achieve those targets, then I am able to do some good for the country... I always focussed on the ball and with time my targets were achieved.
 

	Emphasising that students should have sound sleep before appearing for exams, the Prime Minister said himself sleeps less, which was his "shortcoming" and he was trying to rectify it.
 

	"I agree that sleeping on time and deep sleep are as important as other activities during the day. I am lucky that I sleep less but I have deep sleep. This helps," he said.
 

	Underlining the need for discipline and focus in life, Modi gave the example of world chess champion Vishwanathan Anand, saying his concentration is always intense when he plays the game and checkmates others, like Arjun's target of the eye of a fish.
 

	Anand asked students to have good sleep, eat well and be calm when they appear for examinations. 
 

	"It is important not to put too much pressure on yourself, don't keep your expectations too high. Just see it as a challenge... Don't be over-confident. But don't be pessimistic either," he said.
 

	Modi added that if a person lacks confidence, then there is no peace within, which affects work. 
 

	Rao asked students to decide what they want and try to achieve it through their "doggedness, dedication and tenacity. With all these qualities, you will succeed in all examinations and all other endeavours."
 

	The Prime Minister noted that the country today celebrates the National Science Day to commemorate the announcement of Nobel Laureate C V Raman's discovery 'Raman Effect' in 1928.
 

	This year's theme is 'Make in India Science and Technology Driven Innovations', he said as he pitched for innovation.
 

	He also said that Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) was being established in India, becoming only the third country in the world to have it.
 

	He lauded the Indian scientists for being part of the recent discovery of Gravitational Waves which had confirmed Einstein's theory.
