04 Apr 2023 ↑ Science department of Shanti Devi Arya Mahila College Dinanagar, under Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat mission, organised Workshop dated 04/04/2023 on the topics; 1. Radiation detectors and their applications 2. Heterocyclic compounds and their future prospects in organic chemistry. The Resource Persons were Dr. Rajesh Kumar (Associate Prof.) P.G department of Physics and Electronics , DAV College Amritsar and Dr. J. J. Mohindru (Associate Prof.) P.G Dept of Chemistry, DAV College Amritsar.

Dr.  Rajesh Mahajan threw light upon Radiation detectors and their applications. He told that all of us knowingly or unknowingly being continuously exposed to various types of radiations. Many times we have to go through our body examination using X-ray, CT- scan, MRI scans etc.  Everyone should be aware of radiation hazards and their detection through G.M. counter. He told that  G.M.counter is a very common detector used to detect the presence of radiations in rock, minerals, soil, scrap, jewellery stones, contaminated environment and food items. 

Dr. J. J. Mohindru threw light upon Heterocyclic Compounds and their future prospects in Organic Chemistry. He told that Heterocyclic compound is the class of cyclic organic compounds, those having at least one hetero atom (i.e. atom other than carbon) in the cyclic ring system. They are frequently abundant in  plants and animals and  are very useful and essential for human life e.g.,  hormones, essential amino acids, hemoglobin, vitamins, and pigments.  Heterocyclic Compounds  have a wide range of applications in pharmaceuticals, Agrochemicals and Veterinary products also . Career Guidance Session was also organized on this day during which , Resource persons  made the students aware about various Carrier opportunities of science courses doing post-graduation, teaching, working in industries  etc.,

Principal Dr. Reena  Talwar honored the  Resource Persons by providing them mementos having insignia of the college.
