Pune, December 10 : Research is a process shaped through years of dedication, struggle and sacrifice, and behind the easy availability of various objects used in daily life lies a long history of efforts made by researchers. While days like Children’s Day, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day are celebrated, there is a growing demand to honour researchers who contribute significantly to improving the quality of life. Therefore, December 10 should be declared as ‘National Researcher Day or Scientist Day’, a request that has been submitted to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This demand has been made through a letter by RANCHO and DICCAI founder Raghunath Yemul Guruji.
Since 2013, this initiative has been consistently pursued with the aim of securing global recognition and respect for researchers. Guruji Yemul stated that Nobel Prizes are awarded to researchers worldwide on December 10, and on this very day in 1930, Indian scientist Dr. C. V. Raman received the Nobel Prize. Hence, the date has historical significance. As November 21 is also observed as Dr. Raman’s death anniversary, it has been proposed that either of these two dates be declared as “National Researcher and Scientist Day.”
