About Department
The vision of the Chemical Science Department at Ravenshaw University is to impart high quality undergraduate and postgraduate level of knowledge to students coupled with cutting edge research activity by the faculty and the students of the University. The teaching philosophy at this department is not only to impart high quality training to students to make them talented and motivated scientific personnel but also to inculcate human values and concern for societal needs and environment.
Vision
In the early twentieth century, as modern branches of chemical science were evolving, a few visionary academicians of Odisha made a humble beginning by establishing a separate Department of Chemistry at the then Ravenshaw College. Prof. Atul Chandra Ganguli was the first head of the Department. The teaching was limited to intermediate level for quite sometime until the College moved to its present location and the Department of Chemistry transformed into a full-fledged department around 1922.
Mission
- To create a center of excellence in the field of research.
- To create an environment with high ethical standards for professional growth of students and faculty.
- To train the students as per the latest modern technology by upgrading the curriculum and laboratory facilities.
- To engage students in developing application projects individually as well as in a team for solving challenging problem.
