The Department of Chemistry is one of those in
few Departments, which were established soon after the inception
of the B.N.M University in 1992.
Over the period, the Department has been nurtured under the able
guidance of the eminent educationist/chemists like Prof. Ram Badan
Yadav (former VC, BNMU), Prof. R. K. Choudhary (former VC, BNMU),
Prof. Q Ashan (former VC, BNMU), Prof. B. N. Prasad, to name a
few.
The present faculty members are actively engaged, besides their
teaching program, in pursuing research in frontier areas of
chemistry. As a result, during the last decade, nearly 75 students
were awarded Ph.D. degree and around 250 research papers were
published from this Department in reputed National and
International Journals. To keep pace with the advancement in
frontier areas of Chemistry, our faculty members have been
visiting laboratories of renowned chemists of the foreign country
Nigeria and have collaborative projects with them. This has
brought the Department to a level where we can venture to pursue
research in frontier areas of chemistry. Research areas being
pursued in the Department are mainly focused on the development of
Coordination Chemistry, Environmental Chemistry, Organometallic
Compounds, and Medicinal Chemistry.
