The Department of Chemistry is one of those in few Departments, which were established soon after the inception of the B.N.M University in 1992.
Over the period, the Department has been nurtured under the able guidance of the eminent educationist/chemists like Prof. Ram Badan Yadav (former VC, BNMU), Prof. R. K. Choudhary (former VC, BNMU), Prof. Q Ashan (former VC, BNMU), Prof. B. N. Prasad, to name a few.
The present faculty members are actively engaged, besides their teaching program, in pursuing research in frontier areas of chemistry. As a result, during the last decade, nearly 75 students were awarded Ph.D. degree and around 250 research papers were published from this Department in reputed National and International Journals. To keep pace with the advancement in frontier areas of Chemistry, our faculty members have been visiting laboratories of renowned chemists of the foreign country Nigeria and have collaborative projects with them. This has brought the Department to a level where we can venture to pursue research in frontier areas of chemistry. Research areas being pursued in the Department are mainly focused on the development of Coordination Chemistry, Environmental Chemistry, Organometallic Compounds, and Medicinal Chemistry.
