Lesser known fact is that Raman trained almost 100 scientists in his laboratories, who influenced the development of science and technology in India. L.A. Ramdas was one of them who began his reserarch career under Raman in the beginning of the 1920s. Not only, he coined the term Raman effect, but also studied the effect of light scattering in gases and vapours.
