Department of Chemistry

      The Department of Chemistry was established in 1992. The aim of the department has been to imbibe a thorough knowledge of chemistry in its students.The faculty is competent in their respective areas of specialization.Ch.Anjaiah is pursuing doctoral research work. He has three research publications to his credit.

      The Department is training Post-Graduate students in Organic Chemistry incorporating latest developments in all the areas of Chemistry including the present thrust area of Drug Chemistry. The class-room teaching and laboratory training are meticulously planned and executed. With the financial support of U.G.C, the department has strengthened the laboratory infrastructure facilities by incorporating modern practical techniques to enhance the experimental skills of the students. Networking facilities have been created where M.Sc. students have access to computers as well as internet facilities.

      The major thrust areas of research ongoing in the Department include Synthesis and Biological activity studies of heterocyclic compounds. Studies on Metal ion interactions with biologically important molecules viz., nucleosides and nucleotides etc. and their thermodynamic stabilities and Synthesis and structural studies of transition metal complexes derived from biologically relevant and physiologically active macro cyclic ligands are undertaken by some of the faculty members. another active thrust area of the department. During the academic year 2008-2009 nine of our students have been awarded Junior Research Fellowships by the C.S.I.R. Many leading pharmaceutical industries visit the department for campus placements and many of our students are well placed.
