About School

School of Chemistry of erstwhile G. M. College, Sambalpur (G. M. University since 2015) came into existence in the year, 1944. The Intermediate in Science opened in that year, followed by BSc (Hons.) in 1960. The Post-Graduate teaching in Chemistry started in the year 1964 and it has been imparting teaching in UG (Hons. & Pass) and PG students since then. In addition, it offers Ph.D. programme. The faculty members of the Department are actively pursuing research activities and have produced eminent scholars in their respective areas. The Department holds the distinction of being the premier centre of tertiary education in the state of Odisha. Many of the alumni of the Department have held higher respectable position both in India and abroad.

Alumni
The School of Chemistry claims an outstanding alumni list with well-known figures. Gangadhar Meher University (formerly Sambalpur College, which was renamed as Gangadhar Meher College and later promoted to Gangadhar Meher University) has been offering BSc Chemistry (Hons.) and Post-Graduate courses in Chemistry since 1960 and 1964, respectively. Over the years School of Chemistry has generated a large number of alumni. Many have achieved highly respected positions in a variety of fields, like universities, national level research labs where they have held prominent position of professors, Scientist etc. Not only academic field but in administrative field and companies they also occupied notable positions. The growth of the School of Chemistry is greatly influenced by the Alumni Association. The purpose of the alumni association is to establish the network of former students and faculties, with the current students and faculties of the university. Through this network former students stay involved in their alma mater and show path to the current students. Furthermore, they give donations to this university which is utilized for student fellowship to provide financial support to the PhD students and as memorial awards to supports topper meritorious students of BSc and MSc. The school organized alumni meetings periodically to develop a strong bonding of alumni with the current students.
