520			_aSir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman was born at Thiruvanaikkaval near Thiruchirapalli, (Tamil Nadu) in South India on the 7 November 1888. He passed his B.A. in 1904 (Gold Medal) in physics and M.A. degree in 1907, with record marks. Raman felt the urge towards scientific research while he was still a student and undertook original investigations in acoustics and optics. He always found opportunities to keep up his interest in science and conduct experimental investigations, even when he was working in the Indian Finance Department as Assistant Accountant General in Calcutta. Raman was elected as a Fellow of Royal Society (FRS) in 1924. The British Government in India conferred Knighthood on him in 1929. He received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1930 for discovery of inelastic scattering of light by molecules (later came to be known as Raman Effect). In 1954, the Government of India awarded him 'Bharat Ratna', first scientist to have been honoured by the highest civilian award. The Soviet Union awarded him with the International Lenin Prize in 1956. Raman became the first Indian Director of Indian Institute of Science (IISc.) in 1933 and established the Indian Academy of Sciences (IASc.) in 1934. He founded Raman Research Institute (RRI) in 1948 and was its Director till his demise in 1970. He was a self-made man and had always set an example for his associates and students, of hard work, indomitable will and total dedication to science. This picture book is a dedication to this luminary scientist whose scientific contributions will keep inspiring every Indian scientist to achieve greater heights in science and technology.
