Chemistry is the integrated study of preparation, properties, structure & reaction of chemical elements & their compounds, and of the systems which they form.
Interpreted in the broader sense the definition would include most of the natural science, a consequence of the considerable areas of overlap which chemistry has with Physical, Biological, Earth, and Material sciences
Chemical science is dynamic in scope as many professionals and applied for courses directly or indirectly use the knowledge of chemistry. Moreover, the present age is the era of science, and more people are being employed in scientific a pursuit that requires knowledge of chemistry.
Chemistry education is also necessary because of its immense value in the student’s individual life and society.
The most significant aspect of modern science is the impact it has had in solving a variety of problems of practical and technological importance as well as those related to pressing problems of mankind. A large number of these problems require a proper understanding and applications of chemical principles and processes.
The major threats to the present day civilization are population explosion, hunger, and diseases, environmental pollution, depletion of sources of energy as well as natural resources. The growth of population is probably the greatest problem facing us.
In solving most of the problems, chemists have a lot to do caraculs (1493-1541) said, “The true use of chemistry is not to make gold, but to prepare medicine”. The problem of atmospheric pollution, if and it is solved will only be done through an understanding of chemical dynamics.
Chemistry has made a significant contribution in the field of drugs, fuels agriculture, farming, fibers, etc. in addition to this there are many interdisciplinary areas where the contribution of chemists is significant. In the area of environmental pollution, chemists are a better method of analysis and solution to get rid of pollution. There is an entire area of marine chemistry to investigate new sources for food and chemicals.
Our college is located in socially, economically, and educationally backward and rural areas. Students are rural-oriented and are not well-prepared. They do not have much more basic Knowledge of Chemistry; it ultimately affects their academic performance and their interest in a subject like chemistry. Hence, it is necessary and challenges for the teachers to change the attitude of the rural and Tribal students.
Chemistry, being one of the important and advanced subjects, in the faculty of Sciences, nearly 70% of students are interested in its study. In order to undertake the scientific and systematic study of the subject, Shri Shivaji Shikshan Sanstha established Shri Vitthal Rukhmini Arts Commerce and Science Mahavidyalaya in 1984 at Sawana and the Department of Chemistry established in 2009. The Department of Chemistry is imparting education with undergraduate courses to educate the rural students.
- To create interest in Chemistry & its applications in our day to day life among students.
- To make the students aware about the need of learning Chemistry for the better enrichment of life
- To acknowledge students about the Scope of chemistry in Pharmaceuticals, Chemical industries, Agriculture & many more fields.
- To prepare the students for self-employment and make self-reliant and self-Sufficient.
- To inspire them for making projects on use & impacts of Chemical compounds on Society.
- To encourage the students to appear in various Competitive Examinations.
- To encourage the students for higher education and research.
- To spread the knowledge of science in the surrounding society & create scientific view within the society.
