About The Department of Chemistry
The Department of Chemistry was established in 2008 covering PUC and B.Tech I and II years, play a vital role as the intellectual capital in basic chemistry needs of engineering graduates. The department has an excellent team of faculty from institutes of national repute such as IITs, IICT (CSIR) and other state/central universities. Most importantly, department is collaborating with institutes of national importance for research and development programs.

Theme of the Symposium
National symposium on “Recent Advances in Chemical & Material Sciences” is being organized on August 20-21, 2016 by the Department of Chemistry, RGUKT Basar. The aim of the symposium is to bring researchers together to discuss and to keep abreast of latest developments in the interdisciplinary research of chemistry and material sciences. As human evolution is progressing, boundaries are fading away, role of interdisciplinary plays a pivotal rule. This is unique symposium that covers wide spectrum of topics, includes several invited talks followed by poster presentation. Thus, early researchers and students get to know what is what, have opportunity to listen to eminent speakers that will help them to catch up the crux of the problem by attending symposium of this nature. Importantly, yields multiple solutions to a given problem and will significantly shift scientific level of individuals and country as a whole.
