introduction

M. Sc. Course Applied Chemistry is a potential base provided by the Shivaji University, on the University Campus to educate and prepare post graduate student from rural and urban area who will get employment on large scale in the Indian Chemical Industries as well as in multinational pharma industry. In order to enhance quality education standards and skilled training to the post graduate students well organized and planned efforts of the Department of Applied Chemistry will meet the global standards in post graduate teaching, research and training programmes. One of the objectives of M. Sc. course in Applied Chemistry is to meet the needs and requirements of the modern society in a focused area to solve the humanities top most problems like energy, materials food, water & environment for next fifty years. M.Sc. course in Applied Chemistry will provide broad common frame work of syllabus to expose our young graduates to the recent and applied knowledge of interdisciplinary branches of the chemistry namely Organic, Inorganic, Physical, Analytical, Industrial, Pharmaceutical, Nanoscience and Technology. M. Sc. Applied Chemistry will lead to higher level of knowledge base which will useful for career development in higher education, academic fields as well as opportunities in industrial and corporate fields.
