About the Department:
The University Department of Chemistry has been assiduously shaping the needs of advance higher education and research activities of the youth right from its day of foundation in 1964. Within a brief span of time Prof. A.k. Bose, founder Head of the University Department of chemistry, created its own space in the realm of teaching. The Department has been successful in establishing itself on the map of the country. Further it would be proper here to mention that the Department would not have been able to attain the present status without the dynamism and scientific passion of Prof. A.B. Lal, Head of the Department. He really took care of the available expertise and the vast possibilities of research in the Department by promoting creativity of teachers. With the passage of time, Prof. K.D. Banerjea, Prof. K.P. Banerjea, Prof. L.K. Thakur and Prof. A. Mishra also nourished the Department to carry forward the advancement of learning.
