Our Research Theme
The Academy laboratories have been designed to meet the international safety standards. They are equipped with fire extinguishers, safety showers, and eyewash sprinklers. The wet chemistry laboratory is equipped with solvent storage cabinet, acid and base storage unit. All the lab users are provided with a safety briefing and safe laboratory practices are always followed.
