It was very good opportunity for the students to learn theory and practical parallel for better understanding of Analytical Chemistry. Students gave excellent feedback that motivated us to organize such programs in future.

Workshop-Analytical Techniques

Chemistry Department in collaboration with Microbiology Department conducted hands on training workshop funded by DBT (under Star College) for all the B.Sc UG students from October 18-22, 2021.

The Instrument used by the students was Conductometer, Polarimeter, Flame photometer, pH meter, Colorimeter, UV Spectroscopy, Potentiometer.Total 65 students learn how to operate the different instruments and gained knowledge.

Industrial Visit

Almost every year Department of Chemistry takes the students to various industries within Gujarat area. Industries visited by our students are Emperus Ceramics Pvt. Ltd., Maps laboratory Pvt. Ltd. Halecon, Axwell Granito, Hibond cement industries, Holish Ceramics, Rhyeco Cpp,CSMCRI, Bhavnagar

Chem Draw: Students are given hands on training on the CHEM DRAW application for drawing chemical structures and identifying their Molecular mass, NMR, ¹³C and IR.

Workshop on structural chemistry: The main aim in organizing this workshop was to acquaint students with the use of software related to chemistry and improve their presentation. The workshop included use of software CHEM ULTRA for drawing chemical structures and the application of the software. The workshop included interpretation of spectroscopic data and deducing molecular structures.

Theatre-in-education: Technical Play: Preparation of CEMENT

A technical play on ‘PREPARATION OF CEMENT’ was staged by the Chemistry students of Christ College, Rajkot on the 4th September 2014. The purpose in staging the play was to make the technical concepts more interesting. In total 25 students participated in the drama. The aim of the play was to transform a complex industrial process into a simple fun loving drama which can create a keen interest among the students for industrial chemistry. The play consisted in showing how a cement batch is produced in the industry

The Act 1 included the ways of procurement and mixing of different raw materials involved in the process.

The Act 2 of the play showed about different process of productions.

The last and final Act 3 showed the work up process involved in the final production.. The concept of theoretical to theatrical was completely fulfilled through this act and motivated them to come out from tedious learning process to very innovative and fascinating learning techniques.
