Scope of Chemistry

Chemistry is one of the basic sciences. Knowledge of chemistry is indispensable for the pursuit of any of the other sciences. We need it for the study of Technology, Pharmacology, Mineralogy, and what not. It is indispensable for the study of physics, geology, biology and physiology. Hence it is a compulsory subject of study for every science student.

In the modern industrial age this importance is even more widely felt. It is needed in workshops, in laboratories, in medical clinics, on farm lands, as well as in various manufacturing processes.

It would be almost impossible to enumerate all the departments of science in which the services of the chemist are required or of uses to which this science is put. Everything is made of chemicals. Many of the changes we observe in the world around we see that caused by chemical reactions. Chemistry is very important because it helps us to know the composition, structure& changes of matter.

The Importance of Chemistry

We are living in an age of synthetic products. The increased demand for various natural products and the fact that they may not be easily available everywhere has led to a new development in the world of chemistry. Today natural products are often created artificially by chemical processes Natural indigo has been completely superseded by equivalent synthetic dyes. Real silk manufactured from the cocoon is a costly product and is not readily obtained in all climatic conditions. This has given rise to a large industry of artificial silk. There is nothing that cannot be done with plastics—from clothing to buildings. These examples will give an idea of the role that chemistry will play in the new age that is coming.

Ally of Medical: In the science of medicine, the use of chemistry is fundamental. The men who dispense the prescriptions of the physician are rightly called ‘chemists’. Chemical research goes hand in hand with medical research. Thus the development of organic chemistry has revolutionized the basis of modern medicine. The discovery, of wonder-drugs like penicillin and streptomycin, and the application of the chemistry of dyes to therapeutics have brought about incalculable benefits to humanity.

How it helps Dietetics: The new science of vitamins has added to the importance of the chemistry of food. The war time shortage of food led to the invention of various concentrated chemical foods and helped to make up deficiencies in the quality and content of food. The science of Biochemistry indeed has developed into an important branch of Chemistry, the value of which in relation to the phenomenon of life is full of possibilities.

As an aid to agriculture: The use of chemistry for the agriculturist is also very great. Chemical fertilizers are effectively re-enforcing primitive forms of manure greatly to the enrichment of the soil. Indeed, soil chemistry is a fruitful subject of study and research, particularly in an agricultural country like India.

In Wars – The contribution of chemical science to military science involving destruction is as great as its creative side. It has helped the large- scale production of glycerin and nitric acid and thus stimulated the manufacture of high-grade explosives in ever-increasing quantities.

Chemistry of today is actually helping in solving major problems of our present day civilization such as population explosion ,food and diseases, depletion of sources of energy and environmental problems. Green chemistry lays emphasizes on processes and products that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances.

It is essential for us to segregate waste so that we can protect not just our but everybody’s health. Keeping this in mind grade 6 students made biodegradable and non-biodegradable dustbins. Here is a glimpse of the activity.

Cleanliness Week

Keeping your space clean and organized is a habit. A good habit inculcated at the right age makes a great organized adult who lives with good and clean habits and thoughts. Ingraining right values and inculcating responsible way of living is being taught by an activity for class II students at DMA.

Cleanliness Week

Grade 4 students of Dayawati Modi Academy enthusiastically participated in tree Plantation Activity. The idea behind the activity was to propagate the message that planting the trees helps to maintain clean eco-friendly environment, reduces pollution and improves the green ambience.

LIVE CLASSES AT DMA

Dayawati Modi Academy achieved another milestone by conducting first online live classroom teaching. While many schools are still struggling to perfect online teaching methodology, DMA is setting new benchmarks in the field of quality education in the testing times of COVID Pandemic. No stones have been left unturned in constantly evolving with the need of the hour to ensure academic enrichment of the students while they remain safe at their homes. Teachers are able to reach 400 students in one single attempt and after the lesson students' interaction is taken up in small groups. Apart from academics yoga,activities,  guided meditation , prayers and value education by story telling are also taken up through live classes.
