1. History
This Department was established in
1946, when Biology group in B.Sc. was introduced. The Department started Post Graduation
in 1950. The subject Industrial Chemistry was started in 1990-91 at under-Graduate level
with combination of Chemistry and Geology, looking to its popularity and scope of
self-employment and jobs to the students. The Department has received permission from
State Govt. to start Industrial Chemistry at P.G. level and it is in process. The
Department started Biochemistry at undergraduate level with the combination of Chemistry
& Zoology in the year 1999. The Department has got clearance from State Govt. to start
P.G. in Biochemistry.
The department has formulated a dynamic and
relevant curriculum according to UGC New Delhi and possesses an excellent infrastructure.
The basic aim of this department is to introduce new combination of theoretical studies,
new technologies in experimental application level and research oriented activities. To
enhance effectiveness of teaching process and efficiency of the students, use of Internet,
the staff members of this department frequently use Audio-Visual methods as 3D system of
teaching. The department is globally recognized for its outstanding research in biomedical
polymer science, nanocarriers as drug vehicles, polymer synthesis, natural products and
coordination chemistry.
A unique feature of the department is the inclusion of Radiochemistry
Experiments at Post Graduation level, which has made this department and college to be the
first institution in the state to include Radioactivity Curriculum. The department has a C
level Radiochemistry Laboratory also.

5) Academic Society: Chemical Society
The academic society of Chemistry comprises
postgraduate students as office bearers. The society conducts lectures of Eminent
Professors, scientists and experts of various branches of Chemistry and Computer Science
related to chemistry. The Chemical society also conducts various quiz programme, model
exhibitions, wall chart exhibition, I.Q special test related to chemistry for the P.G
student of the department. Seminars are conducted by the Chemical society. The members of
the society and experts of specialized field to prepare their lectures guide the P.G
students and their performance is improved through discussions.
The Chemical society is exposing and equating students to newer and
current areas of competitiveness. The Chemical society activities help in the overall
development of the students and they are highly motivated, well informed and better
prepared for their future. Ms. Deepti Jha has qualified the NET examination in Oct. 2003.
