Director's Message

Chemistry is the central science. It deals with the composition, structure and behavior of the atoms and molecules that make up all forms of matter. Understanding the world at an atomic level is essential to all areas of science. Chemistry interlinks and contributes to medicine, geology, materials science, molecular physics, biology and astronomy. Its central role in science is emphasized by the fact that Chemistry merges with Biological Sciences (the field of biochemistry) at one extreme and with Physics (physical chemistry and chemical physics) at the other.

Chemistry propels advances in modern society and has an important role to play in solving major global challenges such as energy sustainability, food supply, health and the environment. Every day we utilize products developed by experimental chemists such as plastics, fabrics, petrol and pharmaceuticals. The Department of Chemistry at Uttarakhand Open University carries out teaching in all of the traditional areas of the discipline, inorganic, organic, physical, theoretical, environmental and analytical chemistry. The Department of Chemistry is equipped with excellent facilities in undergraduate laboratories work. Research activities in the department include investigations into such diverse topics as chemical biology, synthesis, supramolecular chemistry, theoretical and computational chemistry, surface and electrochemistry, trace elements in the environment, nanotechnology and new materials.
