Profile:

Lohia College, Churu was established in 1945 as a degree college. As demand for science stream was felt vigorously in this region of Shekhawati, classes for B Sc course started in 1955. This region of Rajasthan was educationally backward at that time. In due course, no. of students in science subjects increased phenomenally, and to cater demand for PG courses in science subject, particularly in Chemistry, M Sc course started in 1975. Since then PG Department of Chemistry acquired self identity as a progressive department and maintained its aura in spite of adverse conditions of this desert area. Beginning with 10 seats for PG classes, now it has 30 seats in M Sc Previous. 10 more seats were made available under SFS  in 2009. This is because of the encouraging results of the Department. Our department has prominent and prestigious identity in this region. Students, passing from our department, now occupy positions in private and public sectors. 

 It’s also a great achievement of our department that most of the members are having Ph D degree. We also organize terminal tests to monitor the development of PG students. Department is well equipped with instruments, chemicals, glassware and other items to meet the student’s demand.

 Besides all these, process is on to purchase FT-IR, electronic balances and other minor and major equipments.

Department has also established a separate computer lab with ten computers, along with printers, scanners, UPS, computer chairs, computer tables and other accessories. Internet facility is available at all the systems andWi-Fi is also established in the Department. Systems are connected with networking. Students of PG classes and research students have easy access to these facilities.

Department is also enriched with valuable and good reference books. More than 500 books are available in Departmental library and thousands in central library for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Chemistry. Books are issued to them for reference and studies.

Seminars are also being organized in the department to train PG students in delivering lectures and presentations, and refining their skills. All students of M. Sc. (F) are required to present a lecture of at least 30 minutes and submit it in form of a project/file. The topics are of their interest from prescribed syllabus. Internal marks, out of 25, are awarded by the Department in main University examination for seminars. An hour per week is allotted in the time table, also.
