About the Department

The Department of Chemistry endeavours to become a leading provider of interdisciplinary approaches to Chemistry Education and Research that attracts and prepares diverse students to be scientifically literate, socially committed and competitive professionals to meet the future demands of the changing global environment.

Department of Chemistry was started in the year 2009-10 on grant-in-aid basis. The college offers Chemistry with Six Units as a major subject for the Bachelor of Science degree. Within short span of time department of Chemistry has started Post Graduate Programme to cater the needs of local students. The M. Sc. programme in Organic Chemistry was introduced 2016-17 and M. Sc. programme in Analytical Chemistry in 2017-18.

College has Ph.D. Research centre recognized by Mumbai University. 12 students are enrolled for the Ph.D. course. Since its inception, the department has grown in quality as well as quantity. Three faculty members are PhD qualified and Mumbai University recognized guide for research degree. They are also actively engaged in research and development activities. Their expertise includes areas such as Environmental Chemistry, Heavy Metal analysis, Pollution monitoring, Chemical Kinetics, Organic Synthesis, Medicinal Chemistry, Green Chemistry, Novel Synthetic Methods, etc.

Dr. Hemant Chavan has received Major Research Project from DST-SERB under Teacher Associates for Research Excellence (TARE) scheme entitled “Development of Practical Synthetic Approaches to Dragmacidins G, H, and Their Analogues: Studies toward the Finding of Highly Potent Antimicrobial and Anticancer Agents” in collaboration with National Chemical Laboratory (NCL) Pune amounting Rs. 18.3 Lakh.

Department has 5 research projects in the credit. Total 89 research papers have been published in various international and national journals with impact factor ranges between 0.5 to 6.14. The total citation received for the papers are more than 582. Text books based on curriculum are also written by faculty members on regular basis. Over the years the department has conducted several excellent national, state and regional level seminars and workshops on frontier areas of chemistry for the benefit of students, faculty and research scholars.
