Department and Association activities during academic year 2004-2005
(1). Organized a free clock room for the pilligrims during Krishna pushkaram for all 12 days from 4am to 8pm. Forty four students of NC section took up this responsibility.
(2). Visited 15 schools and demonstrated chemistry experiments related to their syllabus like preparation of oxygen, chlorine,soap,properties of sulpuric acid, ammonia, detection of anions,cations sugars etc., students of NC section took up this activity. They have gone to the schools by taking a chemistry kit.
They cleared the doubts raised by the students. This helped our students as well as the school children.
For the above two activities H.O.D .and the association coordinator accompanied the students each time.
