The Raman Research Institute (RRI) will be celebrating its Platinum Jubilee Year starting from Monday.
“The RRI, founded by Nobel Laureate Sir C.V. Raman in 1948, is entering its 75th year of promoting research in Physics under contemporary research themes,” said the institute.
According to RRI, Mr. Raman founded the institute to continue his studies and do basic research after he retired from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc).
Apart from serving as the institute director, he also carried on his personal research until his death in 1970.
Mr. Raman set up the institute on a plot of land gifted to him by the then government of Mysore. He personally funded RRI along with donations from private sources.
Following the death of the Nobel Laureate, the Indian Science Academy, which was also founded by Mr. Raman, created a public charitable trust, the Raman Research Institute Trust.
