Many people are living in ideas like superstitions in our country. To improve it, this day matter.

The main objective of National Science Day is to maintain the continuous advancement of science in the country. Along with this, its main objective is to remove the fear of people towards nuclear energy across the country. The relentless development of the country can be ensured only with nuclear power. So that the standard of living of people in our society can be quite progressive and developed.
