About us

General Information-

The Department of Chemistry was established in the year 1963. The department offers two years M. Sc.

course with four specializations at the M. Sc. Part-II level. Recently, one year M. Phil. Course has been restarted by the department. The post-graduate students in Chemistry are encouraged to carry out research work leading to the award of Ph. D. of Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University.

The department has presently 13 sanctioned teaching staff comprising of three Professors, five Readers and five Lecturers. However, due to the superannuation of some faculty members, the present strength is reduced to five (two Readers and three Lecturers). Several research projects have been awarded to the faculty members by various agencies for carrying out research work in various fields in Chemistry. Under these schemes, various instruments have been received by the department for the benefit of teachers and students. Recently, an amount of Rupees Twenty four lakhs has been received by the department under FIST programme of DST. An equal amount has also been received from UGC under Xth five year plan.

The department is housed in an area of about 27000 sq. ft. including laboratory area of about 15650 sq. ft. The departmental library has been well maintained and there are about 1972 books in the library.
