About the Department
The under graduate Department of Chemistry was started in the year 1981 and elevated as Postgraduate department in the year 2003. From the year 2005 the department has become a full fledged research centre as approved by the Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai. The department glorified its ventures by conducting 25 MTCs (Modern Trends in Chemistry) seminars /symposia, from 1993. In addition to the teaching activities, the department is known for its research works in thrust areas like Green Chemistry, Coordination Chemistry, Supramolecular Chemistry, Bioinorganic Chemistry, Corrosion Science and Photochemistry. There are four major and one minor research projects have completed one funded by CSIR and the other four supported by UGC.
