“Be the change you wish to see in the world” (Gandhi)
Chemistry and Biochemistry are core disciplines forming an important
functional part of professional qualifications and specialisations such as
Medicine, Industrial Chemistry, Geo-Chemistry, Natural Product Chemistry,
Pharmacology, Chemical Engineering, Bio-medical Sciences, Agriculture and Environmental Chemistry. The department of Chemistry and Biochemistry is
very proud to provide services and setting the foundation for the professional
development of students in these fields. We are delighted to be an associate role
player towards envisioned knowledge base society (Vision 2030). Each year we
receive arguably one of the largest student enrolments. The current complement
of first year students is more than a 1000 and total number of students including
distance candidates is more than 3000.
We believe that it is the experience of learning that counts. Good learning
experience will encourage live long learning and cultivate a culture of competitive
excellence and good citizenry. Our core mission is to provide the experience
by enabling the learning environment and provide our students with ‘change
imperatives’ for sustainable national development.

We are an aspiring academic
department desperately seeking to:
understanding the context specific national needs
ensure relevance of our academic programs
foster appropriate linkages, networks and partnership build around the
common appreciation of the importance of quality nationally relevant
science and technology interventions
Our researchers collaborate extensively in several
strategic theme areas, including:
1. Build Environment, Sustainable Energy,
Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation
2. Improvement and value addition of Plants and Crops and Food Chemistry
3. Medicinal Chemistry
4. Computational Chemistry/Bioinformatics
5. Industrial Chemistry and Nanotechnology
