History of the Department The Department was started in 1908. Professor F L Usher, a student of Sir, William Ramsay of England was appointed as the first Professor of the Department in 1910. The department was affiliated to the University of Madras until 1916. It attained the status of a University department after the establishment of University of Mysore. It came under the administrative control of Bangalore University in the year 1964. Since its inception the department had specializations in the areas of Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry. Biochemistry was introduced in 1973 and Analytical Chemistry specialization as recently as 2006. The development of the department during the past century is due to the efforts of galaxy of teachers that include Prof. M Shadaksharaswamy, Prof. T H Venkata Setty, Prof. G K Narayana Reddy and Prof. K M Sivanandaiah. The leads and impetus provided by these eminent scientists have led to blossoming of research in modern areas of Chemistry. Encouraged by the past glory, the department is striving hard to create a niche for itself in national and international domains of research and teaching.
