department. It is a mini electro chemical cell with an inbuilt salt bridge. The main feature of it is the use of 1 to 2 ml. of solution, thereby facilitating minimal use of chemicals. The kit can be easily cleaned and reused. It has a high wear and tear. It is cost effective and environment friendly. This kit is used by both UG and PG students in their Electro Chemistry Practicals.

9. Improvement in College Ranking:

i. NAAC Ranking before and after support Before the support - 2008 (Second Cycle) Re-accredited by NAAC with ‘A’ grade with CGPA of 3.57 on a four point scale After the support - 2014 (Third Cycle) Re-accredited by NAAC with ‘A’ grade with CGPA of 3.68 on a four point scale

10. Extramural Support: i. DST FIST - Department of Mathematics – 2007 to 2013

ii. UGC CPE - NIL 11. Impact of the Program

Better understanding of the principles and significance of basic sciences which motivates students for higher studies

Improved experimental, analytical and technical skills Publication of practical and workshop manuals Strengthening of the department library Instilling of a quest for scientific enquiry through student projects Updating of knowledge through trainings / workshops for faculty in contemporary areas Popularization of Basic Sciences among neighboring schools students through exhibitions

& Science Fair Strengthening of interdisciplinary collaborations
