Our research team delves into the effects of chemicals on the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere, and their implications for the environment and human health. Environmental research often assumes a prominent role, as their investigations significantly influence decisions affecting the broader populace. The research in the Department of Chemistry is interdisciplinary as well as multidisciplinary and aims to equip students with specific research skills. The research is carried out in such a manner that it has societal benefits and can be scaled up for industrial applications. Several publications from the department have practical applications in connection with the day-to-day life of humanity. The research in the department is not entirely of academic interest but links both industry and society with academia.

In accordance with our Chancellor’s vision, we have extended our research so that it benefits humanity. The department’s research produces high-impact papers and has proved beneficial to society through their outcomes.
