Theme of National Science Day 2018

‘Science and Technology for Sustainable Future’

When was the day declared as National Science Day?

In 1986, the National Council for Science and Technology Communication (NCSTC) asked the Government of India to designate 28 February as National Science Day which the then Govt. of India accepted and declared the day as National Science Day in 1986. The first National Science Day was celebrated on February 28, 1987.

What is Raman Effect?

Raman Effect is a phenomenon in spectroscopy discovered by the eminent physicist while working in the laboratory of the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, Kolkata.

Raman Effect, change in the wavelength of light that occurs when a light beam is deflected by molecules. When a beam of light traverses a dust-free, transparent sample of a chemical compound, a small fraction of the light emerges in directions other than that of the incident (incoming) beam. Most of this scattered light is of unchanged wavelength. A small part, however, has wavelengths different from that of the incident light; its presence is a result of the Raman Effect.

Purpose of the Celebration:

The basic objective of observation of National Science Day is to spread the message of importance of science and its application among the people. National science day is celebrated as one of the main science festivals in India every year with following purpose-

To widely spread a message about the significance of scientific applications in the daily life of the people,
To display all the activities, efforts and achievements in the field of science for welfare of human being,
To discuss all the issues and implement new technologies for the development of the science,
To give an opportunity to the scientific minded citizens in the country,
To encourage the people as well as popularize the Science and Technology.

Activities on the Day:

Students of the schools and colleges demonstrate various science projects as well as national and state science institutions demonstrate their latest researches. The celebration also includes public speech, radio-TV talk shows, exhibitions of science movie, science exhibition based on themes and concepts, watching night sky, live projects and researches demonstration, debates, quiz competitions, lectures, science models exhibitions and many more activities.

Water for needy @ mttc

Initiated by Brainbow .
For one month .

Water makes up approximately 70% of a human’s body weight – but DON’T stop drinking water to lose weight!
Approximately 80% of your brain tissue is made of water (about the same percentage of water found in a living tree – maybe is this why people hit their heads and say “knock on wood”?).
The average amount of water you need per day is about 3 liters (13 cups) for men and 2.2 liters (9 cups) for women.
By the time you feel thirsty, your body has lost more than 1 percent of its total water – so let’s not feel thirst. Take a break right now and have a glass of water. We will wait on you to get back for Fact 5.
Refreshed? Let’s continue. Drinking water can help you lose weight by increasing your metabolism, which helps burn calories faster.
The average person could live without food for nearly a month, but we could only survive about one week without water—that’s how essential water is to human life. Some of us can’t go a day without coffee, but that’s a different story.
Good hydration can prevent arthritis. With plenty of water in your body, there is less friction in your joints, thus less chance of developing arthritis.
Drinking enough water everyday can help reduce heart disease and cancer. Water helps flush toxins out of your body, and the fewer toxins that come into contact with your colon, bladder, and other organs, the less chance that critical ailments can develop. Some mornings there is a greater need for toxin flushing than others.
Smile. Good hydration can help reduce cavities and tooth decay. Water helps produce saliva, which keeps your mouth and teeth clean.
There is the same amount of water on Earth as there was when the planet was formed. Believe it or not, the water you drink could share the same molecules that dinosaurs drank. Don’t think too much about this, though.

In India, the monsoon lasts for 4 months between June and September. Since last week or so the rain is gone, and this monsoon hasn't been decent, the rainfall had been it's lowest since the 1970's and we are already facing a water-scarcity. The temperature has already reached 38 ^oC.

I have seen birds hovering over waters sources in the cities, starting from winter. Outside the town, birds get water through streams and other water bodies. In India, at the beginning of summer, starting from February people keep water in dishes and bowls for birds in the city.

While this weather change is not encouraging at all, I am so sure that I'll see thirsty birds hovering over water sources in cities sooner than usual.

Providing water for birds in summer is always a brilliant idea, not just to drink but for them to have a nice bath in!

Usually bird baths are actually kind of shallow, or rather the edges usually are dipping gently into a deeper pool in the middle. This kind of dish on a balcony would suffice.

Our multipurpose bird feeder came with a rather small waterbowl. About 8 inches diameter and 1 inch deep, this does suffice as well and I have seen birds drink from it but never bathe. I think this is due to the fact it's got vertical edges.

There is a slight issue with leaving water out in so far as the hotter it gets the faster it will evaporate and therefore in a sense it will be a waste (taking into account a water shortage).

You can also get water drinkers though. These act exactly like a chickens water bowl, and should still suit most birds.

Inauguration of ADVENTURE SPORTS on 23 02 2018

INAUGURATED BY OUR PRINCIPAL DR KY BENEDICT , ALONG WITH PHYSICAL EDUCATION FACULTY DR TP JOSE .
Conducted by HEALTH CLUB along with College Union .

An adventurous initiative .

TO BOOST :

STRESS BUSTER

HEALTHY MUSCLES

CONFIDENCE

Adventure sport is really cool activity and it’s a best for coming out from peers and fears. Activities like mountain biking, mountain climbing, mountain climbing, or kayaking, skin diving, base jumping, the list go on and on. What these endeavors have in common may be a degree of risk, uncertainty, and uncovering.

Today, journey sports are famous to show folks self-reliance, cooperation and to depart their temperature. These parts may result in higher health, improved self-worth and exaggerated confidence that interprets into all aspects of one's life.
