OBJECTIVES & OUTCOME

  • Ensuring academic excellence and at the same time understanding the subject and appreciating the beauty of science.
  • To ignite scientific temperaments and motivate them to go for higher education and excel in the chosen field in science academia.
  • To achieve their goals without compromising on values and by being a law abiding citizen.
  • To carry the torch of science education further.

ONGOING PROJECTS

  • Determination of heavy metal contamination in commercially available Turmeric powder in Bengaluru.
  • Pollution due to automobile vehicle service stations of Bangaluru environment especially water bodies.

OPPORTUNITIES

  • To establish research centre for commerce as majority of the teachers are doctorates so all so guiding research works in other universities
  • To introduce certificate courses in ERP solutions, taxation sales management etc.
  • Training centre for professional courses such as CA, ICWA, ACS etc.

CHALLENGES

  • To prepare the students for various competitive examinations like KAS, IAS, IRS, IPS. CA, ACS, and ICMA, etc.,
  • To create more awareness for students in research area.
  • The majority of the students are from rural background. So, it is a big challenge for the faculty to create.

FUTURE PLANS

  • Upgrading the department with research facilities.
  • To Organize UGC sponsored seminars, workshops and conferences.
  • To Strengthen Institution-Industry interface for the projects and job-oriented benefits of the students.

Department- Community Service and Social Orientation Programs through conducting the analysis like

  • DETERMINATION OF HEAVY METALS IN VEGETABLE SAMPLES FROM BENGALURU AND  TUMUKUR MARKET PLACES.
  • ANALYSIS OF LAKE WATER QUALITY OF NORTH BENGALURU CITY.
  • DETERMINATION OF HEAVY METALS IN COLOURS USED IN HOLI AND ITS EFFECT ON ENVIRONMENT.
  • INFLUENCE OF MOTAR VHECULAR SERVCE STAIONS ON POLLUTION OF WATER BODIES IN RAJAJINAGAR AREA, BENAGALURU.

In addition to it awareness programmes about Lead Poison under “PARISARA PRAGNA” an Eco Club is arranged regularly for the students and society. The activities include Eco Ganesha Sapthaha, Jathas,

Awareness regarding  E-vaste Managenent and building a scientific temperament in semi urban schools is another feature taken up by the Department.
