The purpose behind celebrating National Science Day 2024 is to recall and show respect for the discovery of the ‘Raman Effect’ and bring awareness about the relevance of science and how it is progressing the lives of mankind. The National Science Day also acknowledges the scientific community's efforts to explore ways science can be implemented to simplify our lives.    

 

The effect of the Indian logical leap forward is fundamentally improving the 'Simplicity of Living' for the average person, which has been demonstrated by creating native Coronavirus antibodies during the pandemic. "Indigenous Technologies for Viksit Bharat" is the theme for National Science Day 2024. 

 

The theme for National Science Day 2024 mirrors an essential spotlight on advancing public appreciation for science, innovation, development, and achievements of Indian researchers to address difficulties through local advances for, generally speaking, prosperity.

 

Announcing the theme for National Science Day 2024 in the first week of February, MoS for Science & Technology Dr. Jitendra Singh said, “This year will not only mark a new era but also seek to present an opportunity for the public and scientific fraternity, both domestically and internationally, to collaborate, work together, and contribute to the well-being of India and humanity as a whole."

 

During the announcement of the NSD 2024 theme, the government said, “We are globally among the top five countries in scientific research publications, 40th in Global Innovation Index (GII) showcasing remarkable climb from 81st rank in 2015, and our patent filing has crossed 90,000 which is highest in two decades."

 

“Indian scientific breakthroughs have reached from the lab to the moon; with the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the south pole of the moon, India became the first country to achieve this feat," the minister said.
