	Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman
		Raman was born on 7 November 1888 in his maternal grandfather's house, in a small village of Thiruvanaikaval near Tiruchirapalli (Trichonopoly in those days), on the bank's of Kaveri in Tamil Nadu.
		Raman was among the founders of the Indian Science Congress, which was established in 1914 and served as its Secretary for several years and also became its President.
		Raman was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1924 in recognition of his outstanding researches in physical optics, molecular diffraction of light, X-ray scattering by liquids and a molecular anisotropy.

	Venkata Raman - Biography
		Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman was born at Trichinopoly in Southern India on November 7th, 1888.
		Raman sponsored the establishment of the Indian Academy of Sciences and has served as President since its inception.
		Other investigations carried out by Raman were: his experimental and theoretical studies on the diffraction of light by acoustic waves of ultrasonic and hypersonic frequencies (published 1934-1942), and those on the effects produced by X-rays on infrared vibrations in crystals exposed to ordinary light.

		These so-called Raman frequencies are equal to the infrared frequencies for the scattering material and are caused by the exchange of energy between the light and the material.
		Raman was knighted in 1929, and in 1933 he moved to the Indian Institute of Science, at Bangalore, as head of the department of physics.
		In 1947 he was named director of the Raman Research Institute there and in 1961 became a member of the Pontifical Academy of Science.

	Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman
		Awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930 for his discovery of what is now known as the Raman Effect, the shift in wavelength of light after it passes through transparent material.
		An explosion of interest followed -- within twelve years of the discovery, 1800 scientific papers were produced.
		As the most prominent Indian scientist and the first Asian to receive a Nobel, Raman assumed the forefront in Indian physics.
