The Forenoon brain storming session was attended by the Director- Principal, Deans, H.O.D’s of various Departments, Faculty members of the Department of Chemistry, Physics, and various Engineering branches. In the afternoon, Prof. Sharma and his team members demonstrated several Green Chemistry Experiments to the faculty members in RIC Lab (I Block). The team of experts demonstrated synthesis of gold nano particles from tea leaves and cinnamon, Claisen Schmidt reaction by new pathways which modified the once so-called complex pathways into simpler one step procedures. The session finally ended on a knowledgeable note and enthusiasm to imply green chemistry for engineers for their overall upliftment.
