Dr. Piyal Bhattacharya had performed the task of Principal Investigator of a major research project funded by the DST-SERB, Government of India. He had completed another minor research project funded by the UGC. The Department houses an array of sophisticated as well as routine analytical instruments: Ion-Selective-Electrode bench top Meter, High volume sampler, Digital VIS Spectrophotometer, Vertical Laminar Air Flow, Colorimeter, Digital Weighing Balance, Centrifuge Machine, Digital pH Meter, Digital Conductivity Meter, GPS, Compound Microscope, Double-distilled water Distillation Unit, Single-distilled water Distillation Unit, Hot air oven, Mechanical Shaker, Autoclave, Compact dry and wet bulb thermometer, Pocket Digital Thermometer, Pocket Digital Conductivity Meter, Pocket Digital Salinity Meter, Pocket Digital TDS Meter, Pocket Digital DO Meter, Digital Sound Level Meter, Hot Plate, Planimeter, Rotameter, Mirror Stereoscope, etc. The Department is proud of having considerably good success rate for its outgoing students. The alumni of this department after graduation have pursued their M.Sc./M.B.A. from different institutes of repute, e.g., University of Kalyani, Visva-Bharati University, University of Calcutta, Indian Institute of Social Welfare and Business Management, University of Burdwan, Guru Ghasidas Vishyavidyalaya, Asutosh College, etc.
