The event coincided with the 166th birth anniversary of its founder - Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose. The event honoured Bose, the legendary scientist and polymath, for his contribution to the field and to the institution.
Established in 1917, the institute carries forward the legacy created by Acharya Bose and continues to advance Indian science on a global level. The events of the day were a tribute to the scientist, whose investigation of radio waves, microwave optics, plant physiology, and several other research forms a base for contemporary scientific progress.
Speaking on Acharya Bose's contribution, Prof. Kaustuv Sanyal, Director of Bose Institute, said, "Sir J.C. Bose was a brilliant polymath and a true pioneer in the fields of science and technology, who made significant contributions to physics and biology that continue to impact the world today. To further his research in this diverse field, he invented several groundbreaking instruments like the Crescograph, which he used to measure growth in plants. The device showcases Bose's innovative approach to scientific enquiry."
