Chemistry General Students.The Department has a small separate space at the KACHARI BUILDING of the Maharaja’s Office.Since inception the Department has gone a long way and in 1999 the University of Burdwan was allowed it to carry out course on Chemistry Honours as well as Chemistry General which was there since its inception.Two more Faculty Members were allotted to the Department and so the total number of Faculty member became five at this time.One GLI was there with two laboratory assistants.With this staff strength seven Honours students were admitted in this Department.In 2013 it was moved to a new separate building with almost 4000 sq. ft. area. It has four class rooms and three laboratory spaces right now.In addition, it has one Faculty room, two store rooms for instruments and chemicals.It also has a separate room for storing cooking gas which is needed to light the gas burner.The Department also has a separate laboratory space to carry out research for the Faculties of the Department.
