ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
The Department of Chemistry is established in 2004 with a view of imparting knowledge in all fields of Chemistry among the students and offering three specializations namely Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry at post graduate level. Our faculties have chosen to work on the most modern, current and thrust areas of chemical sciences. The motto of the Department of Chemistry is Education, Employment, Productivity and Prosperity.
OBJECTIVES
- Provide specialized higher education in Chemistry.
- Develop human resources in prime areas in Chemistry.
- Create industrial awareness and to offer industrial experience.
VISION
The Vision of the department is to focus on research in the branches of the chemistry on important problems of our country and world.
MISSION
The Mission of our department is to provide learning experience based on the best educational practices for all students served by the department and produce graduates with good knowledge for careers in academic intuitions, industries and government organizations.
