Bharat Ratna Nobel Laureate C.V. Raman - Biography and Contribution

C. V. Raman was born on 7 November 1888 in his maternal grandfather's house, in a small village of Thiruvanaikaval near Tiruchirapalli (Trichonopoly in 1888), on the bank's of Kaveri in Tamil Nadu. Raman's maternal grandfather Saptarshi Sastri was a great Sanskrit scholar.

Raman's father was  R. Chandrasekhara Iyer.  He became a lecturer in mathematics and physics in Mrs. A.V. Narasimha Rao College, Vishakapatnam (then Vizagapatnam) in Andhra Pradesh. Raman passed his matriculation examination at the age of 11 and he passed his F.A. examination (equivalent to today's Intermediate) with a scholarship at 13. In 1903 Raman joined the Presidency College in Chennai (then Madras) from where he passed the B.A. (1904) and M.A. (1907) examinations. He stood first both in B.A. and M.A. examinations and won all the prizes available. Raman himself wrote : " I finished my school and college career and my university examination at the age of eighteen."

While Raman was a student, he independently undertook original investigations in acoustics and optics. Raman was the first student of the Madras Presidency College to get a research paper published, that too in a prestigious international journal. His first paper on 'unsymmetrical diffraction bands due to a rectangular aperture' was published in the Philosophical Magazine (London) in November 1906. This was the result of Raman's measuring the angles of a prism using an ordinary spectrometer in his college. This was followed by a note in the same journal on a new experimental method of measuring surface tension. Lord Rayleigh (1842-1919) took note of the papers published by Raman as a student. Rayleigh was an outstanding mathematical physicist and a good experimenter, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for the discovery of argon. Raman and Rayleigh exchanged some correspondence.

Despite his brilliance in scientific investigations, at the instance of his father Raman took the Financial Civil Service (FCS) examination. He stood first in the examination and in the middle of 1907 Raman proceeded to Kolkata (then Calcutta) to join the Indian Finance Department as Assistant Accountant General. He was then 18½ years old. His starting salary was Rs. 400 per month, a fabulous sum in those days. One day while going to office Raman saw a signboard with the words "Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science" written on it. The address was 210, Bowbazar Street. On his way back he came to the Association where he first met an individual named Ashutosh Dey (Ashu Babu) who was to be Raman's assistant for 25 years. Ashu Babu took Raman to the Honorary Secretary of the Association, Amrit Lal Sircar, who was overjoyed when he came to know about Raman's intention -- to do research at the Association's laboratory. Raman started working in the laboratory of the association.

There was an interruption to Raman's work at the Association. He was transferred to Rangoon (1909) and Nagpur (1910). However, Raman's research work was not completely stopped. At both places he converted his home into a laboratory and continued his work. He came back to Calcutta in 1911.

Till 1917 Raman continued his research at the Association in his spare time. Doing research in his spare time and that too with very limited facilities Raman could publish his research findings in leading international journals like Nature, The Philosophical Magazine and Physics Review. During this period he published 30 original research papers. His research carried during this period mainly centred on areas of vibrations and acoustics. He studied a number of musical instruments viz., ectara, violin, tambura, veena, mridangam, tabla etc. He published a monograph on his extensive studies on the violin. The monograph was titled 'On the Mechanical Theory of Vibrations of Musical Instruments of the Violin Family with Experimental Verifications of the Results Part- I'. Ashu Babu was his collaborator at the association laboratory and he was a joint author in many papers that Raman published. Ashu Babu was also the sole author of a paper published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. 

In 1917 Raman was invited by Asutosh Mookerjee (1864-1924), to be a professor in the newly established Science College.   Raman was offered the Palit Professorship in Physics. The salary for the professorship was about half the amount that Raman was getting in the Finance Department. However, Raman happily accepted the offer. He joined the Calcutta University as Palit Professor in July 1917. In 1919 Raman took research students for the first time.

Even after joining the Calcutta University,  Raman continued his work at the Association's Laboratories. In fact the Association became the research arm of the University. Following the death of Amrit Lal Sircar in 1919 Raman was elected as Honorary Secretary of the Association, the post he held till 1933, when he left Kolkata.

Raman discovered Raman Effect in 1928. The first paper was published in the Indian Journal of Physics on 31 March 1928. He discovered that when light traverses a transparent material, some of the deflected light changes in wavelength and amplitude. This phenomenon of scattering of light was named after him – Raman effect. He was given the Nobel Prize for Raman Effect in 1930. In his, Nobel prize address Raman described various experiments carried out by him and his colleagues in Calcutta University in the area of light and colours. He got the inspiration for this area of research by looking at the blue Mediterranean sea on his voyage to England.

Bharat Ratna C.V. Raman - The Scientist Who Brought Great Glory to India
_______________


_______________

In 1933,  Raman was voted out of the Honorary Secretaryship of the Association in a move supported by Meghnad Saha. So Raman decided to move to the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, to become its Director. He was the first Indian to become its Director. Raman succeeded Sir Martin Forster, FRS. He served IISc both as  Director during 1933-1937  and aS head of the Physics Department during 1933-1948.

When Raman joined IISc its academic accomplishments were not very high. But its funding position was much better than Calcutta University where Raman worked. Raman brought out the following changes:

A new physics department came into existence
Some of the existing departments were reorganised
Steps were initiated to establish a central workshop for fabricating precision instruments.
The surroundings were improved by planting beautiful flowering gardens.

For achieving academic excellence he himself gathered a team of talented students and faculty and started high quality research in many fields of physics like quantum mechanics, crystal chemistry and vitamins and enzyme chemistry by recruiting outstanding faculty. But his activities were not to the liking of some faculty members who complained and a committee was appointed to investigate the affairs. The committee gave the opinion criticising Raman. Raman resigned from the Director's position and remained a professor and head till 1948.

After retirement from the Institute he concentrated his attention on  building the Raman Research Institute (RRI).  Raman had to gather money for building the Institute as Raman had lost most of his life's savings including his Nobel Prize money in an investment. The Institute was built on a ten acre plot of land gifted by the Maharajah of Mysore way back in 1934  to the Indian Academy of Sciences, and for its related activities.  The Indian Academy of Sciences Bangalore, which now publishes some of the best science journals in the country, was established by Raman. The Academy was formed on April 27, 1934. It was registered in Bangalore under the Societies Registration Act. Besides Raman, there were 160 Foundation Fellows. The inaugural meeting of the Academy was held in the campus of Indian Institute of Science in August 1934.

Raman traveled extensively for raising donation for constructing the building for housing the institute. To earn money for the institute he started a few chemical industries (in association with one of his former students). The dividends from these industries were sufficient to support the institute to start with. He gifted away most of his personal properties to the Academy for the benefit of the institute, as also the Lenin Peace Prize money. A museum was built to house Raman's collection of crystals, gems, minerals, rock specimens, shells, stuffed birds, butterflies and so on.

Raman was awarded Bharat Ratna in 1954.

Raman died on November 21, 1970. As per his desire he was cremated in the gardens of his institute.

The Quatum Indians - Satyendra Nath Bose, C.V. Raman and Meghnad Saha

In category A - Popular Science Film for Public (duration of more than 20 minutes) - The Quantum Indians bagged the first prize, the Golden Beaver and a cheque of Rs one lakh.

Dr. Satyendra Nath Bose devised a statistical theory of counting photons - a revelation even to Albert Einstein -- that paved the way for the two great minds to work in tandem in formulating fundamental theories as the Bose-Einstein Statistics and Bose-Einstein Condensate. Boson, the class of particles that obey Bose-Einstein statistics, was named after Dr. S. N. Bose.

Sir C. V. Raman gave the world what is known as the Raman effect, which redefined how we see light and colour. Another contemporary, Dr. Meghnad Saha produced an equation that explained stellar radiation and is regarded as one of the fathers of modern astrophysics. All the three scientists started their careers at the Calcutta University, became Fellows of the Royal Society, and Raman was the first and only Indian to be awarded the Nobel Prize for physics.

The film is a tribute to the three exemplary minds, the significance of whose contributions was of vital importance during that time, and even today with great strides being made in quantum physics, fibre optics, nuclear science or astrophysics. They were not only great scientists, but were rooted to the social and political realities of the time and dedicated their lives to modern science in India. Along with being institutions by themselves, they built stellar institutions in the country that inspired many great scientists of the following generations.

Finding the Jivas in acute distress and delusion, and totally incapable of releasing themselves from the bondages of birth and death, the Supreme Being Radhasoami Dayal was moved with immense compassion. He incarnated Himself in this world in 1818 as Sant Sat Guru, in the form of Param Purush Puran Dhani Soamiji Maharaj and revealed an easy and simple path for the salvation of Jivas.

#PositiveIndia - Employment Potential of Mudra Finance - Employment to 2 Crore Persons per Annum

•Published on 15 Dec 2017
________________

________________

10 (100 million)  Crore Units - 20 Crore (200 million) Employees - Vision for Micro Units Facilitated by MUDRA Finance Scheme

The last NSSO survey puts the number of micro units at 6 crore (60 mil) and number of employees at 11 crore (110 mil). There is an opportunity to promote one crore (10 million) new firms and provide employment to another one crore (10 million) persons employment through MUDRA finance giving one lakh crore rupees to new firms and giving another one lakh crores to firms with plan to give employment to one more person. This requires two lakh crores as priority Mudra finance and another 1.5 lakh crores can be given to other micro units. Thus the government and Mudra agency can target Rs. 3.5 lakh crore credit under Mudra for the year 2018-19. The target for this year 2017-18 is Rs. 2.44 lakh crores. So providing additonal Rs. 1.06 lakhs crore is within the feasibility tests.

In four years, with the above plan for credit, the employment in micro units can be raised to Rs. 20 crores. The number of units will go up to 10 crore.

Of course many changes are to be brought into micro units promotion and financing based on inputs from users, facilitators, regulating agencies and banks. Research studies from various agencies - academic institutions, NGOs, banks, industry and business associations, and government agencies are needed to identify potential powerful ideas which need to be implemented.

Research on Mudra Finance - Employment Potential 2017

The author of this blog, Prof. K.V.S.S. Narayana Rao is presently involved in a research project on Mudra Finance. The project is based on a survey of MPs,  Bankers and District Industries Centers.

Thoughts Of Mahatma Gandhi

I am a firm believer in the principle of free and compulsory primary education for India. I also hold that we shall realize this only by teaching the children a useful vocation and utilizing it as a means for cultivating their mental, physical and spiritual faculties. - Mahatma Gandhi

Craft, Art, Health and education should all be integrated into one scheme. Nai Talim is a beautiful blend of all the four and covers the whole education of the individual from the time of conception to the moment of death....Instead of regarding craft & industry as different from education, I will regard the former as the medium for the latter.

It is popularly and correctly described as education through handicrafts.

I hold that, as the largest part of our time is devoted to labour for earning our bread, our children must from their infancy be taught the dignity of such labour. Our children should not be so taught as to despise labour. There is no reason why a peasants son after having gone to school should become useless as he does become, as an agricultural labourer.

Man is neither mere intellect, nor the gross animal body, nor the heart or soul alone. A proper and harmonious combination of all the three is required for the making of the whole man and constitutes the true economics of education....

I am a firm believer in the principle of free and compulsory primary education for India. I also hold that we shall realize this only by teaching the children a useful vocation and utilizing it as a means for cultivating their mental, physical and spiritual faculties.

What kind of vocations are the fittest for being taught to children in urban schools? There is no hard and fast rule about it.

In my scheme of things the hand will handle tools before it draws or traces the writing.

 True development of the mind commences immediately the apprentice is taught at every step why a particular manipulation of the hand or a tool is required. The problem of the unemployment of students can be solved without difficulty, if they will rank themselves among the common labourers.

You have to train the boys in one occupation or another. Around this special occupation you will train up his mind, his body, his handwriting, his artistic sense, and so on. He will be a master of the craft he learns.
Literary training by itself adds not an inch to one's moral height and that character building is independent of literary training.

Labor of a man

The divine law, that man must earn his bread by laboring with his own hands, was first stressed by a Russian writer named T.M.Bondaref. Tolstoy advertised it and gave it wide publicity. In my view the same principle has been set forth in the third chapter of the Gita, where we are told, that he who eats without offering sacrifice eats stolen food. Sacrifice here can only mean bread labor.(Gandhi exhorts every body to put in efforts to create useful articles first and then consume what he needs out of it).

Leadership

A leader is only first among equals....

Having made our selection we must follow him or the chain is broken and all is loose.

 

Young India, 8.12.1921

 

Discipline and Freedom

The highest form of freedom carries with it the greatest measure of discipline and humility. Freedom that comes from discipline and humility cannot be denied, unbridled license is a sign of vulgarity alike to self and one's neighbors.

 

Young India, 3.6.1926

 

Congress Ministers

If the Congress wants to continue as a people's organization, the Ministers cannot live as sahib log nor use for private work facilities provided by Government for official duties.

 

Harijan, 29.9.1946

 

Caste System of Hindus

Today Brahmanas, and Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras are mere labels. There is utter confusion of Varna as I understand it and I wish that all the Hindus will voluntarily call themselves Shudras. That is the only way to demonstrate the truth of Brahmanism and to revive Varnadharma in its true state.

 

Harijan, 25.3.1933

 

Children

The real property that  a parent can transmit to all equally is his or her character and educational facilities.... Parents should seek to make their sons and daughters self-reliant, well able to earn an honest livelihood by the sweat of the brow.

 

Young India, 29.10.1931

There are news items all around that copy right of various parties on books and articles written by Mahatma Gandhi have expired and people can print books written by Gandhi without paying royalty to anybody. Hope this will help in spreading Gandhiji's message to more people if some interested parties can come forward and print books at lower costs. But certainly they can be published on the net and made accesible to large number of people.

About Gandhian thinking by Krishan Saigal

For Gandhi, human existence was chacterized by two fundamental features. First each individual was uniquely constituted and had a right to live by the truth as he saw it. Second, all men were one; what united them was far more important than what divided them and there were no differences that could not be resolved or lived with in the spirit of charity and goodwill. Since  both unity and difference, harmony and disagreement, were the necessary features of human existence, Gandhi argued that every human association must fully acknowledge and find ways of reconciling them.

Gandhi's Dream for Villages of India

A cow in every house
provided with plentiful green grass
carpenters, tailors
potters and shoppers
business every where
with plenty to share
A doctor to look after
Good leader to administer
A teacher for children to grow
A bank for wealth to flow
Gandhi's dream
For me, it is supreme

by Narayana Rao, Vamsi, Priyanka

More Quotations from Gandhi
• I have nothing to teach the world. Truth and non-violence are as old the hills
• Non-cooperation with evil is a sacred duty
• I do not seek kingdom, I do not seek heaven, I do not seek moksha. I pray that the suffering humanity be relieved from pain
• If untouchability lives, Hinduism perishes, and even India perishes
• Knowledge without character is a power for evil only as seen in the instances of so many talented thieves • English is so beautiful that no other language can stand comparable to it
• The king was wearing enough for both of us – M.K.Gandhi when asked why he did not wear a suit to meet the king
• Our temple is in our hearts. A temple constructed of a few stones has no meaning
• A man is but a product of his thoughts; what he thinks that he becomes • The outward behavior of a man is at once the sign and proof of the inner state
• Action expresses priorities
• Truth and non-violence are my God
• The only real dignified human doctrine is the greatest good of all, and this can only be achieved by utmost self-sacrifice
• Every village has to become a self-sufficient republic
• India can win over conquerors culturally, traditionally, spiritually but never politically
• My writing should be cremated with my body. What I have done will endure, not what I have said and written
• He who wants to please all will please none
• Humility is the key to guide success
• No matter how weak a person is in body, if it is a shame to flee, he will stand his ground and die at his post. This would be non-violence and bravery

Lying by Leaders and Great Leaders

Lying by Leaders, Great Leaders and World Leaders

You are a witness to lying by leaders. You are dejected.  You feel horrible. People are felicitating the leader who is a liar saying he is the most honest person. Person of integrity. A great benefactor of people. While you may feel dejected, sad and disillusioned, many people before had that same feeling. That is the nature of the world.  There is lot of published material on lying by leaders and many leaders might have read that literature and must have decided that lying is the way to go ahead in real life.  At some point in time truth may catch up with many persons. But leaders are living in the present. They are winning in the present. They are celebrating in the present. May be you don't know to keep you living what are sort of deceit has to be done by your defence forces. May be the leaders also indulge in lying many time to keep the society relatively stable.

What is the published material on lying by leaders?

Why Leaders Lie

Why Leaders Lie: The Truth About Lying in International Politics is a 2011 book by the political scientist John Mearsheimer.

The book argues that leaders lie to foreign audiences as well as their own people because they think it is good for their country.

Is It OK For Leaders To Lie?

Brook Manville
Darwinian explanation. People like winning, “Alpha Leaders;” their champion performance trumps the occasional lie. “Who cares if Pete Rose denied his gambling? He was an all-time baseball great, deserves the Hall of Fame.”

ET Now| Dec 12, 2018

one must worry about the extent of job creation in India. Reports of 25 million people applying for 90,000 railway jobs is something that suggests there is not enough supply of jobs in the market.

We have to focus on improving the quality of research or the quality of our universities and as a by-product our companies will also get better.
