Department of Chemistry was established,along with all other science departments, on 22nd July 1963 under the supervision of the founder Principal, (Late) Shri S. C. Datta. In its infancy, the department had a modest beginning when Dr. P. V. R. Rao (Lecturer,Lady Keane College) was looking after the department as a part-time teacher who was later joined by Shri Kalipada Nath as the Demonstrator. The department got its impetus when Shri Puroshottam Deb joined in March 1964 and shaped the department with his innovative style till his death in 1989. A good number of renowned teachers served the college as part-time teacher during the early days and they included Shri H. N. Paul, Dr. A. Hom Choudhury,Shri S. Guha Thakurta and many others. During this period, Shri H. P.Roy Chowdhury, Shri T. K. Sen and Shri Nilmoni Chowdhury also served the college as regular teachers but left the job for own reasons by 1967-68.In 1969, Dr. Sudhir Kr. Gupta joined the department and later rendered his services as Head of the Department after the demise of Shri P. Deb till his retirement in January 2006. Shri R. C. Das joined the department in 1970 but left after few years to continue with his higher studies in USA. Meanwhile, Shri Ramananda Bhattacharjee joined the department as Demonstrator and served till his retirement in 2000. Shri Evans R. Solomon also served the department in 1980 before he proceeded for IES, Government of India.
