The Consumer Protection Council, Tamil Nadu, has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to name the Tiruchi International Airport after the Nobel laureate Sir C.V. Raman.
In a representation, S. Pushpavanam, Secretary of the Council, appealed to the Prime Minister to extend his help to convert the childhood home of Sir C.V. Raman at Thiruvanaikovil in Tiruchi into a science museum and erect a statue of the legendary phsyicist near the Cauvery bridge. This would help inspire future generations and highlight the importance of understanding science.
It is sad that there was no memorial for this great physicist in Tamil Nadu. A committee of a group of admirers of Sir C.V. Raman have been formed to take up the demands with the State and Union governments, he said.
