CHEMISTRY

About the Subject

Chemistry, the fascinating study of matter, impacts every aspect of our daily lives from health and nutrition to climate change. A vibrant, growing science, chemistry is vital to the success of research endeavors from the fight against cancer and AIDS to the development of superconductors. Important research areas like drug design, material science, nanotechnology and most importantly, ‘green chemistry’ are beneficial to both humanity and the environment. A vast array of industries - petrochemicals, bulk and fine chemicals, polymers, dyes & paints, pharmaceuticals, food additives & nutraceuticals are chemistry related and offer a wide range of rewarding careers.

Have been teaching in the Junior College since 2004.  I like to teach Chemistry by relating the subject to everyday life. I make use of power point presentations while teaching and also provide systematic study material .I enjoy conducting the practical (experiments) sessions for the students in the Chemistry lab.I take  personal interest in organizing subject related extra curricular activities for the students as it helps them to develop a keen interest in Chemistry. I try my level best to interact with the students and to make the subject of Chemistry as interesting as possible by presenting it in the simplest and fun filled manner.
