There is a departmental library which has a rare collection of books for reference, useful even for the advanced studies.

The department provides excellent learning in chemistry through its dedicated faculty members by means of new teaching and learning methods. At present 06 faculty members are working in the department out of which three  are  doctorates and three are  pursuing Ph.D  in various universities like one in Osmania University , one in Vellore Institute of Technology and one in National Institute of Technology.
