National Science Day

National Science Day is celebrated on the 28th February 2014 to commemorate the invention of the ‘Raman Effect’ by Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata  Raman, the noted physicist.

As a mark of respect for Sir C.V. Raman, Orchids organized a special programme in which some students of classes V to IX conducted different experiments to demonstrate the various principles of science that make the subject interesting.

 It was followed by a very enthusiastic debate by some students of classes VIII and IX in which they argued on the topic, ‘Is technology a boon or bane in the modern era’.

It was altogether a very lively presentation and discussion.
