NIPER celebrated this in the presence of the delegates of 3rd Indo-German Conference on Modeling Chemical and Biological (Re) Activity.
Prof KK Bhutani welcomed the guest for this special session of the conference. He added that the influence of Raman Effect is more relevant today especially in the field of nano technology and nanoscience. Prof DVS Jain eminent professor from Punjab University who had the personal experience of interacting with Sir CV Raman, introduced the great contributions made by Raman to the young audience. He mentioned the influence of Raman Effect and how the idea was generated.
Prof G Frenking, Philipps University, Marburg, Germany delivered the science day special lecture. The topic of discussion was ‘chemistry with the computer’. Prof G Frenking also lauded the contributions of Indian scientists to the general growth of scientific field. He deliberated on the relevance of computer technology to all sciences chemistry in particular. He pointed out the difficulties experienced in the interaction between chemistry and computational fields during the initial days. Those initial efforts lead to tremendous growth. Today every aspect of chemistry can be handled using computers. The reliability of results is 100 per cent in some topics of chemistry and it is sufficiently high in the topics related drug discovery, material science and nano technology etc.
A group of scientists (Alexander Von Humboldt-Chandigarh Chapter) met the German delegates and joined the Science Day celebrations. Petit, Science Councillor from German Embassy, New Delhi, also visited NIPER on this occasion.
