About the Department

The Department of Chemistry has been established in this college in 2000. Being one of the leading subjects in pure sciences, chemistry offers the students an ideal platform to explore the fascinating world of chemical reactions with the basic understanding of physico-chemical principles, composition and structure of organic, inorganic and bio-organic materials in our daily life. The department teaches students a fine balance of inorganic, organic and physical chemistry inter-disciplined with related fields like mathematics, physics, biochemistry, computer applications, etc., thereby enabling the bachelors to develop an awareness of issues within chemistry that overlap with other related disciplines. The course opens avenues for pursuing post-graduation studies in different areas of chemistry (inorganic, organic, physical, analytical and industrial). It also opens avenues in polymer sciences, forensic sciences, material sciences, biotechnology, nanotechnology, etc. A wide range of carrier options are available to graduates and post-graduates in teaching, industry (chemical and pharmaceutical) and research. The department is well-equipped with modern facilities and infrastructure.

Laboratories:

The department is having two (02) full-fledged laboratories, one Chemistry Equipment Room (CER) and a chemical store with all kinds of equipment’s and chemicals/glassware available as required for conducting of experimental work of UG as well as PG programs of the subject including research projects.

SWOC analysis of the department & future plans:

• Strength:

The Department is established in Science block with two (02) functional laboratories, one Chemistry Equipment Room (CER) and a chemical store. The department has adequate infrastructure with an uninterrupted electric and water supply. The laboratory is well-equipped with modern equipment’s such as UV-Visible spectrophotometer (Single-Beam), Digital Conductivity Meters, Polari meters, TLC Kit, double distillation plants, laptop, desktop and printer.

• Weakness:

The routine work of the department is badly affected by the periodic transfer of permanent faculty and engagement of contractual lectures.

• Opportunity:

The department has enough space, infrastructure and equipments that could run full-fledged PG Course and research in Chemistry, if adequate human resource is provided by Administrative department.

• Challenges:

The establishment of research centre’s in  terms of minor or major research projects is a challenge for the department as the periodic transfer of the faculty has a direct impact on the research projects.
