Mangalore, February 28: The Mangalore University on Tuesday celebrated National Science Day to mark the discovery of the Raman Effect by Indian physicist Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman.

In a Science Day celebration gift to the student community, the university's revamped website was launched by vice-chancellor Prof TC Shivashankara Murthy.

Laying emphasis on the importance of Science Day, Mr Murthy reminded the students that Prof C V Raman was the only non-white to receive the Nobel Prize for science, for his discovery of the Raman Effect.

Stating that both talent and infrastructure are necessary for the improvement of a student's potential, he said the Mangalore University has both, and it also would improve its standards.

He also said that India is the sixth nation which has deciphered the human gene structure and the human genome has been analysed. “In the 50s and 60s India was starving but in the 70s India was successful in transforming food deficiency into food sufficiency. We have many revolutions in our country like the green revolution and white revolution. People like Homi Baba created the nuclear revolution” he said.

He also lamented for the lack of interest in science among students. “It is our bad luck that only 19% of the students are opting science today”, he said.

Stressing on the need of quality education, he said universities should not be reduced to the 'centres for producing graduates'.

Website

The vice chancellor said that the revamped website facilitates easy and quick access of information.

He said parents of the students also should know who their children's faculty are. The revamped website would help in that.

He informed that a seven member committee of professors was formed to revamp the website. It is much more interactive and user friendly. It has a more professional look and is a comprehensive website which would help students get all information in one place.

The website contains all vital information like qualification of teaching faculty, fee structure and announcements. Exhaustive download section of various application forms in it's yet another student friendly feature, he added.

Prof K N Balakrishna, Chairman of Physics Department, Prof Chinnappa Gowda, Registrar, Prof J S Bhat, Karnataka University, Dharwad and Prof Vishwanath, Department of Bio Chemistry, Mysore University were present among others.
