Physics Education: C.V.Raman birth centenary issue

Abstract

Sir C. V. Raman was a great personality who influenced India and world science for six decades. He is the only Indian scientist who achieved global status without leaving India. At the Raman Research Institute a tree was planted on the site of his cremation. This full grown tree which is a splendid sight from the gallery of the Institute is symbolic of the fact that in the world of Indian science, Raman stands tallest.
