36. Future plans of the department.
 We have plans to conduct seminars/workshops on a regular basis. Some of the areas
picked out are ―Innovative teaching methods‖, ―Sustainable Excellence‖,
―Spectroscopic and microscopic techniques‖
 We would also conduct Conferences for the students by the students
 Those of our teachers who do not have a Ph.D. will get their degrees soon.
 We will strive to get more research projects from government funding agencies.
 We would initiate writing proposal for DST FIST funding
 We will strive to do well in DBT (Potential for STAR) program and reach DBT-STAR
status.
