Despite the illness during his childhood days forced him to discontinue studies for a while but he made the best use of that time too and pursued the Higher education from the 'University of Edinburgh' and done his further research for a year there.

He got famous by his works on nitries and hyponitrites of metals, especially mercury does work for him worldwide

He knew for his work of starting the first ever Chemical Landmark Plaque outside the Europe, for which he got honored by the Royal Society of Chemistry.

2.Srinivasa Ramanujan(1887-1920)

He was born in Erode town in TamilNadu on 22nd December 1887. He was a great scientits and greatest Mathematician. He got fame at the age of twenty-six.

Gretest invention he did for our nation and make us proud by his discovering the "Raman Effect" or we can say the inelastic scattering of the photon.The experimentation was based on that when light traverses a transparent material,some of the deflected light changes in wavelength

He won 1930 Nobel Prize in physics for the "Raman Effect and become the first Indian to win Nobel Prize in sciences,and in 1957 he was also honored with Bharat Ratna
