CHEM EXPO







The Department of Chemistry proudly and enthusiastically conducted a series of Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) activities aimed at creating environmental awareness and promoting scientific knowledge among students and the community. These initiatives reflect the department’s commitment to social responsibility and sustainable development.
Sapling Plantation Drive was organized to promote environmental conservation
To further extend scientific awareness, the department conducted outreach programs to create awareness on science among school students. Demonstrations, interactive sessions, and simple experiments were carried out to make science more interesting and accessible. These efforts helped in igniting curiosity and fostering a scientific temper among young learners.
On the occasion of World Cleanup Day, a Rally was organized to emphasize cleanliness and environmental responsibility. Participants carried placards with meaningful slogans, spreading awareness about waste management, pollution control, and the importance of maintaining a clean environment.
The department also celebrated National Science Day with great zeal. The event provided a platform for students to express their ideas and innovations while honoring the contributions of scientists.
Overall, these ISR events were highly successful in achieving their objectives. They not only promoted environmental consciousness and scientific awareness but also instilled a sense of responsibility among students. The Department of Chemistry continues to take pride in organizing such meaningful activities that contribute positively to society.
RALLY- WORLD CLEAN UP DAY






The Five-Day National Level E-FDP (3rd–7th August 2020), organized by the Department of Chemistry on the theme “Challenges in Chemistry & Its Applications Towards Energy Resources,” featured expert sessions each day. Dr. Mani Karthik opened the series with a talk on the challenges and progress in electrical energy storage, followed by insights from Dr. S. Kannan on accessing NMR spectra. Dr. K. S. Nagaraja presented the applications of single crystal analysis, while Dr. J. Selvakumar discussed an overview of nuclear spent fuel management. The programme concluded with a session by Mr. Bramishthan Muraleedharan on Non-Revenue Water (NRW) in the Indian context.
The Department of Chemistry organized a One-Day Workshop featuring Dr. S. Murugan, retired Head of the Department of Chemistry at S.T. Hindu College. A renowned resource person in the field of microscale chemistry experiments, he has conducted numerous training sessions on green chemistry, organic qualitative analysis, and microscale techniques across several institutions. His expertise in promoting safe, eco-friendly, and cost-effective laboratory practices made the workshop highly engaging and beneficial for both faculty members and students.
- In view to inculcate an awareness about microscale analysis among the teaching fraternity; a state level faculty development workshop on "Microscale Analysis” was conducted on 06.09.2019.
