DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY: Club activities/ Social Activities

Lab to Schools programme

The department of Chemistry took up an extension activity namely ‘Lab To Schools’ programme on 4.2.2020 at MPUP School in Kuntamukkala village, which does not have lab facility at all. This event would motivate the young minds to exercise social responsibility in empowering the unprivileged students to visualize the concepts experimentally and make their learning effective.

Ten students from Chemistry cluster as mentors and two faculty members were involved in this event. Basic chemical science concepts from V to VIII class were taken for live Experimental demonstrations and shown class wise with good explanation by our mentor students.

To inculcate social responsibility, at the end of the event, in each class, our students brought awareness on water consumption and management strategies to be followed to face one of the global problems ‘Water Scarcity’.

Chemistry department has organized ‘Alchemy Fair- 2019’ (chemistry exhibition) inaugurated by Prof.M.V.Basaveswara Rao, Krishna University on 26.7.2018 in our college campus with a noble initiative of promoting benevolence and support for the needy people through ‘Bowl of Rice’ concept. It is an expression of intellectual potential and compassion. Transfer of knowledge of basic concepts of chemistry by live demonstrations is carried out by the students of ‘Alchemy Club’ of chemistry department.

A total number of 50 live experiments are demonstrated related to different concepts of chemistry like combustion, sublimation, crystallization, stalactite, stalagmites, esterification, acid-base concepts, acid-base indicators, oxidation-reduction reactions, displacement reactions, solid state reactions, complex formation reactions, endothermic, exothermic reactions, evaporation, polymerization reactions, optical properties of light, Tyndall effect, rate of reactions, effect of catalyst on rate, effect of temperature on equilibrium, electrochemistry experiments, chemical reactivity series; separation techniques like paper, thin layer chromatography; solvent extraction; etc.
Each experiment is monitored by a 3 membered team.
Total number of students as demonstrators is 150.
Other members of Alchemy club are involved in different duties like registration (Rice) desk, discipline committee; feedback desk etc. monitored by faculty members of chemistry department.
