Amongst the basic sciences, chemistry concerns itself
with composition, properties, constitution and mutual interaction of
different kinds of matter. The 21st century is regarded as an active era of
chemistry and is of great importance. New plastic, synthetic rubber, novel
metal alloys, synthetic vitamins, antibiotics, steroids, dyes, fertilizers,
etc. have revolutionized the science and technology.
Time is moving fast and so is science. With the advent of computer,
information technology, it is difficult to keep pace with it. With the
adoption of the new slogan “Jai Vigyan” there should be a laying emphasis on
science at all stages of education and sincere and consistent efforts on the
part of teachers and planners of chemical education in the country to
improve the chemistry teaching. With this motto the department with its
professional expertise in the field of physical, organic, analytical, dairy,
engineering chemistry endeavor to structure its teaching and research. The
courses offered by the department emphasize on understanding of fundamental
concepts, and facilitates learning and application biochemical mythologies
and analytical techniques. Thus, the department with its experienced
faculty, impact relevant training to the young to develop their expertise,
research ability and professionalism.
Lab Facilities
The department is furnished with two big under graduate laboratories, four
postgraduate laboratories and two research laboratories. The course outline
for the lab-periods at various levels is based on the theoretical aspects
and provide students intellectual maturity and strength of purpose. The
department is committed to excellence through teaching and research. The
practical courses offered cover fundamental concepts, principles and adopt
advanced techniques, which provide the students of U.G., P.G. and doctoral
level a quality education. The programmes are designed to accommodate the
interest and objectives of the students. The course structure followed by
research programme for P.G. students trains them in planning, execution and
data analysis. P.G and research students conduct original research and
receive thorough training in investigative techniques by use of use of
instruments like pH meter, conductivity meter, turbidity meter, photometer,
U. V. visible spectrophotometer, Rotary Vacuum Evaporator, Spin Coater,
Thickness Gauge, Permeability Tester, Water Vapor, Transmission Rate
Apparatus, Hand Coater, B4 Cup Viscometer, Density Tester, Mechanical
Stirrer, Peel Tester, Soxhlet apparatus, etc. in guidance by experienced
faculty. The department continuously assesses the P.G. & Doctoral students
by conducting seminars, which develop their abilities to reason and
communicate at an appropriate level in this increasingly competitive,
complex and challenging world.
Research Activities
Physiochemical evaluation of sewage discharges in River Yammuna.
Bioaccumulation of Heavy Metals and their biodistribution. Pesticide and DNA
Biosensors. Isolation, purification & characterization of Active principles
in medicinal plants. Conducting Polymers, Biodegradable polymers.
The Department has produced about twenty research scholars till date and at
present the scholars are pursuing their research under the able guidance of
the faculty members in the following fields- Synthesis and Biological
