Research Central facilities

The Department of Chemistry established its Research Laboratory in the academic year 2021–22 with the objective of promoting research culture among undergraduate and postgraduate students and strengthening faculty research activities.
The laboratory was inaugurated on 22nd February 2022 in the auspicious hands of Dr. N. L. Thakur, Senior Scientist, National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), Goa. The inauguration marked an important milestone for the department in enhancing research infrastructure and providing students with opportunities for hands-on experimental learning.
The research laboratory is equipped with several essential instruments and facilities required for chemical research and experimentation. The major instruments available in the laboratory include Rotary Evaporator, Hot Plates, TLC-UV Chamber, Orbital Shaker, Microwave Oven, Suction Pump, Flame Photometer, IR Lamp, Electronic Balance, along with a wide range of necessary laboratory glassware and accessories required for experimental work.
These facilities enable students and faculty members to carry out various analytical, synthetic, and experimental studies in chemistry.
The laboratory is actively utilized for multiple academic and research purposes such as:
• Aavishkar Research Projects undertaken by undergraduate and postgraduate students.
• Research project work of M.Sc. Part II students as prescribed in the curriculum.
• Minor research activities and experimental studies by faculty members.
• Training students in modern laboratory techniques and research methodology.
The establishment of this research laboratory has significantly strengthened the department’s ability to conduct experimental research and has provided students with valuable exposure to research-oriented learning. It also encourages students to develop scientific thinking, analytical skills, and innovation through participation in research projects and academic competitions.
Overall, the laboratory serves as an important platform for promoting student research, faculty research initiatives, and experiential learning in chemistry, thereby contributing to the academic growth and research culture of the department.
