Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry

 

“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
