Chemistry

One of the esteemed departments of Sanatana Dharma College, the Department of Chemistry was established in 1957. With a resourceful and committed bunch of faculty members, the department strives to offer an ideal teaching-learning environment to our student community. The department offers two major programmes: B.Sc. Chemistry and M.Sc. Chemistry. In 2013, the department has been recognized as a Research Centre by University of Kerala and active research has been carried out in the fields of polymer chemistry, nanomaterials, and other major research domains in chemistry. We also offers Complementary Programmes for B.Sc. courses in Physics, Botany, Zoology and Microbiology. Apart from organising academic seminars/conferences every year, we provide ample opportunities for students to interact with academicians, scientists, and industrialists through visits to various industries, R&D laboratories, and research institutes. Every year, department conducts a one-day workshop for higher secondary school students and teachers (ATCHSS). CHEMSAFE is a best practice of the department for providing awareness on lab safety measures for teachers, and lab assistants of neighbouring institutes. AURUMCHEM, the alumni association of the department, also supports the goals of the department and strengthens the ties between the alumni, the public, and the department. Eminent alumni including retired faculty members of the department have offered 4 endowments for recognising the academic talents of our students. Department also provides financial support to the needy students.
