National Science Month Editathon
India celebrates 28 February as National Science Day each year to mark the discovery of the Raman effect by Indian scientist Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman on 28 February 1928. Raman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics For this discovery, in the year 1930. Most schools celebrate National Science day by arranging science festivals, demo and competition of science models, visiting science museums, etc.
Instead of celebrating National Science Day as just one-day event, it is planned to have a month long events in Indian language Wikipedias. These events will be online and offline editathons, outreach activities and meetups. The goal is to add more articles on science topics to Indian language Wikipedias on topics on which articles are not present in the respective language Wikipedia as of now. Additionally, efforts will be made to enhance and improve existing articles on science topics.
