Next up the society organized an inaugural lecture for the freshers, delivered by Dr Pradeep K. Srivastava, Former Dy.

This function was followed by a motivating talk by Prof.Ved Prakash, Former Chairman, UGC. A three-day educational trip to Pachmarhi, Madhya Pradesh was also organized for the students.
The annual fest ‘ZUSAMMEN’ was conducted this year through online mode, but that did not dampen the spirits of the students and a huge turnout was recorded. Various fun activities and events were organized such as PowerPoint Presentation competition, General Science Quiz, Scientoons, Chemras and Murder Mystery. This intercollege fest was a huge success, and students took part in all the events with great enthusiasm.
Finally, the Farewell program for the outgoing batch of 2022 was also facilitated and the chemistry department wished the best to the students for their future endeavours.
The Chemistry Society ‘CHEMUNICATE’ would like to extend its gratitude towards our Principal, Faculty and Staff. None of the above-mentioned programmes and activities would have been possible without their presence and guidance.
