Brief Introduction of the Department

The Department of Chemistry, Diamond Harbour Women´s University, is one of the newest departmentsof the University, having been formed in 2017. The first batch of this department started with 20 students in various parts of West Bengal. Initially 16 resource persons were engaged in teaching. At present it is being nourished by young permanent faculty members along with some guest faculties. The present intake of students is 25 in each year. The department has been offering three Advance papers in the final semester, viz.
