About

Department of Chemistry, SRM University Sikkim, has a vision to equip students with in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of Chemistry. To explore and promote translational research on environment, health, Bio-remediation, Nutraceuticals & Anti-oxidants and Nanotechnology.

The objective of the Department is to bring together related topics that are traditionally treated separate under the major branches of Chemistry, such as inorganic, organic and physical. The emphasis is on in-depth understanding of the fundamental principles and giving training in appropriate computational and experimental methods. Apart from B.Sc. course, we would be starting M.Sc. program soon.

A student graduating from the department, will be exposed to every aspect of the subject - theoretical, applied, instrumental, computational and experimental, in tune with the latest advancements in sciences, which are essential to mold students into able and noble scientists of the future. The intake of Ph.D. students is in progress and research areas are being chosen in a very focused manner.

Vision

Stmt. - 1	To create scholars with clear understanding of concepts of chemistry capable of pioneering discoveries and advancements in chemical research.
Stmt. - 2	To ignite learners' mind with problem-solving, critical thinking, and analytical reasoning skills with practical applications in diverse areas of Chemistry.
Stmt. - 3	To further prepare learners for World-class education, as well as to work independently in research or other industry settings and to generate nation-wide sustainable innovative solutions.

Mission

Stmt. - 1	To provide a thorough understanding of the concepts and principles of different domains of Chemistry.
Stmt. - 2	To arm the learners with skills to apply the theoretical concepts through basic and advanced experimental techniques.

Infrastructure

The chemistry department has state of an art laboratory to cater all round development of the students. The chemistry laboratorycourses aredesigned in such a way as to exemplifythe conceptsthat has been taught in the lecture portion of the course.It also helps to introduce the laboratory techniques to the students and thus improve the analytical skills of the students.

The laboratory is equipped with relevant glassware, chemicals and modern equipments, to meet all the requirements of the course. The practical sessions are also designed to expose the students to the modern developments in the field of chemistry.These experiments in the chemistry lab provides hands-on experience in the laboratory setting and is planned to offer practical session for many of the theoretical concepts and chemical laws learned in lecture. Safety is the priority along with well-ventilated and spacious laboratory.
