The Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India remembers Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman on his birth anniversary. Through his research in optics and acoustics, Sir C. V. Raman made significant contributions to the understanding of light and its interaction with matter. In 1928, his experiments on molecular scattering led to the discovery of the Raman Effect, which describes how light changes its wavelength and frequency when scattered by molecules. The discovery brought international recognition and earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930, making him the first Asian to receive the honour in this category. Today the Raman Effect continues to find applications in various fields of science.
His contribution to science extended beyond his research. As the first Indian director of the Indian Institute of Science (@iiscbangalore), he contributed to advancing scientific research in the country. He founded the Indian Journal of Physics (1926), established the Indian Academy of Sciences (1934) and went on to set up the Raman Research Institute (@RRI_Bangalore) in Bengaluru (1948), creating a space for independent scientific research. His achievements also earned him the Hughes Medal in 1930 and the Bharat Ratna in 1954, among several other recognitions. Today, we remember his contribution to scientific discovery and institution-building, which continues to enrich India's research landscape.

Engineering Precision Sunlight Management for More Productive Agrivoltaics 🌱☀️
Same panels. Similar light. 13% more crop productivity.
In a rooftop trial at CSIR–NIIST, the research group led by Dr. Adersh Asok showed that its Even Solar Sharing Agrivoltaic (ESS-AV) system grew 13% more spearmint biomass than a conventional checkerboard layout at comparable crop irradiance, without affecting electricity generation.
The group then turned the result into a sizing model: using just the site's latitude and panel clearance, project teams can select lens dimensions at the early design stage.

Remembering Dr. Janaki Ammal (1897–1984) –a #visionarybotanist who reshaped #plantgenetics, and sweetened #India’s #sugarcane, ensured growth.
Her brilliance thrives in #MagnoliaKobus 'Janaki Ammal', a shrub she developed that honors her name, and in The Janaki Ammal Herbarium at #CSIRIIIM #Jammu, preserving her contributions to botanical research. Her words echo through time: “My work is what will survive.” And indeed, it does.

Dr. Joram Aniya, Member, NITI Aayog, joined the inaugural session of the International Conference on Communication and Dissemination of Indigenous Knowledge Systems, organised by CSIR-NIScPR, as the Chief Guest.
Highlighting India’s rich and living knowledge traditions, she underscored the intrinsic relationship between indigenous communities and nature. She also emphasised the cultural, spiritual and moral responsibility of preserving natural resources.
Drawing from the heritage of Arunachal Pradesh and the Galo community, she highlighted how traditional institutions and indigenous knowledge systems have sustained community governance, social harmony and the intergenerational transmission of wisdom.
Dr. Aniya also commended the SWASTIK initiative for advancing the communication and dissemination of traditional knowledge through publications and regional-language translations. Calling for the preservation of oral traditions, she urged young scientists, researchers and scholars to harness AI, big data and digital technologies to scientifically document, validate and disseminate indigenous wisdom.
Emphasising that the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047 must remain rooted in India's cultural heritage and indigenous knowledge, she called for a meaningful integration of traditional wisdom with modern science, technology and innovation to preserve India's knowledge legacy for future generations.

Raipur, Chhattisgarh: The 17th convocation ceremony of NIT Raipur was held at Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Auditorium. Union Coal Minister G. Kishan Reddy, MP Brijmohan Agrawal and CSIR Director General Dr. Nallathamby Kalaiselvi attended the event.
Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy says, "Under the National Critical Minerals Mission, the Government of India has begun working towards establishing Centres of Excellence at leading academic and technical institutions across the country. These centres will promote research activities and support the development of indigenous technologies. The availability of critical minerals is extremely important for the country today. At present, India depends on imports for nearly 95 per cent of its critical mineral requirements."
