Chemistry or “Rasāyan” as in Sanskrit would mean Way of Chemicals but Chemistry is much more than only way of chemicals. Chemistry involves the study and understanding of the changes occurring in Nature through reactions and interactions between atoms and molecules. Designing new drugs, novel materials and control on their properties requires knowledge in chemistry.
At Department of Chemistry, we explore and try to understand various aspect of atoms, molecules, and materials, working side by side with graduate and undergraduate students through an active research program along with quality education. The faculty members in the department work to develop novel nanomaterials, catalysts, drugs, solar sensitize dyes, and organic synthesis through advance experiments and computational molecular modelling with an aim to train exceptionally good chemists and material scientist and to work for the betterment of the society.
