The Department of Chemistry of Government General Degree College at Kalna-1 started functioning in 2015 since the inception of the College and offers six semester undergraduate Honours in the subject under the affiliation of the University of Burdwan. Presently the intake capacity of the department is 15 under CBCS. The faculty members of the Department are fully committed to their duties and obligations. The Department laboratory is well equipped with state of the art instruments. The Departments continuous stride in academic excellence over the years is reflected in their teaching and their active engagement in research culture and publication of several research papers in reputed peer reviewed Journals. The teachers strive to continuously upgrade and keep abreast with the recent trends in the subject areas and also to infuse their students with values of dedication and diligence. The diverse qualifications of the faculty ensure expertise in all the traditional disciplines of chemistry as well as in various interdisciplinary areas. The department provides a conducive intellectual environment for the curious and inventive youngsters through departmental seminars and quiz. Classrooms offer a good deal of faculty-student interaction which strengthens the bond between them and academic flexibility to explore new pedagogies or approaches to teaching is extended to their benefit. Faculty members are available as academic advisers and engage in mentoring the students’ with regard to the course and curriculum.The faculty members engage themselves in creative discussions on chemistry, science, career opportunities, and philosophy as well. Over the years the reputation of the Department has kept growing owing to the relentless work of the faculty members.
