About the Department
One of the unique features of Sree Chaitanya College is the Department of Chemistry. Among the unique features of the department is the "Homely atmosphere" provides by the faculty members. The TEAM (Together Empowering to Achieve More) of the teaching faculty along with the motivated Laboratory attendant felt at home with each other and this makes planning and working less stressful. The Department began its journey in 1956 with a bunch of talented and devoted founders. Teachers like Prof Saswati Bag, Prof (late) Sachindranath Sarkar, Dr. Raiharan Modak, Prof.(late) Tapan Kumar Chanda, Dr. P. K. Dasgupta, Prof. Pradip Dey, Dr. (late) Umacharan Bhattacharya, and Prof. P.L. Majumder. Slow but steady wins the race, the Department also slowly but steadily reached its culmination very soon. It is needless to say that whenever the subject Chemistry is concerned as a matter of discussion, the names of the Department of Chemistry, Sree Chaitanya College, Habra has been given the priority. Really we feel proud of our predecessors.
The Department offers three-year (50- semester, CBCS) undergraduate courses for Chemistry in the morning, day, and evening sections, and two-year (four-semester CBCS) postgraduate courses in Chemistry (intake capacity 40). Limited number of students provides a good opportunity to deal with faculty-student interaction and academic flexibility. The diverse qualifications of the faculty ensure expertise in all the disciplines of chemistry as well as in various interdisciplinary areas. The department provides the environment for the young learners to realize their potential and manifest themselves. The diverse qualification of the faculty ensures expertise in all traditional and interdisciplinary areas.
The TEAM work is the Nuclear Force of our Department. The academic achievement and growth of the Department blend successfully due to the excellent TEAM work of the present bunch of gifted faculty with brilliant academic careers. The trend of this TEAM work and dedication of our faculty have been manifested through the introduction of the Post Graduate (PG) section in Chemistry since 2008. The Department is on a journey and aspires to build relationships and help each learner to realize their productive potential self along the way.
