Knowledge Extension Program on “Energy Resources” on 18-06-2015

Conducted by Dr.G.Jyothi, Head of the Dept.of Chemistry.

Planet Earth has enormous amounts of energy resources. Usage of energy by Human beings gets back to several centuries. Energy is of many kinds as electrical energy, kinetic energy, mechanical energy, chemical energy etc.III B.Sc M.P.C students performed “Energy Resourses” dramatically to the whole college under the able guidance of Dr.G.Jyothi, HOD of chemisty. Students have explained about renewable and non-renewable energy sources in a detailed manner. In addition to that energy resources were discussed under the following modules. Energy from fossil fuels, Energy from Sun, Energy from Wind, Energy from water, Energy from Biomass, Energy from Nuclear & other sources. Finally the students concluded that the Earth has various sources of energy. The non-renewable energy depletes very quickly due to the pressure of population. Harnessing renewable energy is a prerequisite for our future survival. The main theme of the extension program is  “Saving Energy is nothing but Producing Energy”.

KNOWLEDGE EXTENSION PROGRAMME ON “COSMETIC CHEMISTRY” On 09-07-2015

We the III B.Sc M.P.C- I students performed a knowledge extension programme on “ Cosmetic chemistry- the Science of looking good”

In this generation cosmetics become a part and parcel of our lives. From morning to evening we use different types of cosmetic products. As long as society continues to put great emphasis on looking young and beautiful cosmetic chemistry will continue to flourish.

Cosmetics helps us to clean and beautify the skin, hair ,nails and teeth. Cosmetics are manufactured in a chemical process either on a small scale or large scale.

In this extension we have presented the history and classification of cosmetics the chemicals involved in the cosmetic products like deodorants , lipsticks, lip gloss, eye shadows , eye liners, eye brow pencils , eye mascaras, foundation compacts, face powder , nail polish, rouges, shampoos, conditioners , depilatories dentifrices and merits ,demerits of using the cosmetics were explained.

               

KNOWLEDGE EXTENSION PROGRAMME on“CHEMISTRY IN DAILY LIFE” on 23-07-2015

The students of III BSC MPC-II under the able  guidance of Ms. A srilatha performed a knowledge extension programme on “CHEMISTRY IN DAILY LIFE” . Students performed different roles to narrate the importance of chemistry.

In and every aspect Chemistry is involved in our daily life from alaram to allout. In this programme students explained about different chemicals involved in 

ALARM,TOOTHPASTE,SOAP,AGARBATTI,ONIONS,CHALK,PAPER,CHOCOLATE, CAKE,PARACETMOL,DETERGENTS, FERTILISERS, BULB, PESTICIDE, ALLOUT etc.

Knowledge extension program was presented on th August 2013 by III B.Sc M.P.C(I) students under the guidance of  Dr.G.Jyothi , HOD of Chemistry on “Nanochemistry” . The motto of the program is Benign design.Nanochemistry is the combination of chemistry and nanoscience. Nanochemistry is associated with synthesis of building blocks which are dependent on size, surface, shape and defect properties. Nanochemistry is being used in chemical, materials and physical, science as well as engineering, biological and medical applications. Nanochemistry and other nanoscience fields have the same core concepts but the usages of those concepts are different.The nano prefix was given to nanochemistry when scientists observed the odd changes on materials when they were in nano meter scale size. Several chemical modification on nanometer scaled structures, approves effects of being size dependent.

Knowledge Extension Program on “E-Waste Management” on 31-07-2014

Conducted by Dr.V.Naga Lakshmi, Dept.of Chemistry.

Electronic waste or e-waste is one of the rapidly growing problems of the world. E-waste comprises of a multitude of components, some containing toxic substances that can have an adverse impact on human health and the environment if not handled properly. In India, e-waste management assumes greater significance not only due to the generation of its own e-waste but also because of the dumping of e-waste from developed countries. This is coupled with India's lack of appropriate infrastructure and procedures for its disposal and recycling. This extension program by III B.Sc M.P.C(I) students under the guidance of Dr.V.Naga Lakshmi provides a concise overview of current e-waste scenario, namely magnitude of the problem, environmental and health hazards, current disposal and recycling operations, existing legal framework and recommendations for zero waste through 4R Principle (Reduce,Reuse,Recycle and Recovery).

Knowledge extension program on 22^nd September 2014  by III B.Sc M.P.C(II) students under the guidance of Ms.L.Anusha, Lecturer in Chemistry on “Enchanting Pigments” was  about the classification of pigments, application of pigments, availability of pigments in natural resources.

Pigments are materials that change the colour of transmitted or reflected light due to selective wavelength absorption.The classification on the basis of colour is easier.In this classification they are categorised as white pigment,  transparent pigment and coloured pigment. Among the white pigments white lead zinc.
