PREAMBLE
The world we live in would have been totally different without the fruits of organic chemistry.

The various forms of vitamins, cloth, medicines, dyes, fibres, petrochemicals, perfumes, preservatives, flavourings, paper etc. are some of the exciting contributions of it. The organic compounds permeate our daily lives in a number of ways. They play an essential role in such diverse fields as genetics, materials science, nutrition, and consumer products’ development.

Many scientists and chemists have contributed heavily to this branch of chemistry. Their accomplishments are appreciated world wide and ideas carried forward. They encourage us to think and act based on organic chemistry to make the future of our planet bright. The people in organic chemistry take cognizance of the responsibilities they have in the changing world by introducing novel concepts, practices and amazing products.

Since the changes in the field of organic chemistry are swift, periodic updating in it seems to be obviously crucial. This is particularly applicable for those who teach organic chemistry in the graduate and post-graduate levels because they are the first people who introduce the charm of organic chemistry into young minds.

In view of the above, the Department of Chemistry at NIT Calicut, Kerala organizes a faculty development programme entitled “Novel Strategies in Organic Chemistry” during 3rd-7th December 2012.

This programme is being sponsored by the UK- India Education and Research Initiative ( UKIERI). The UKIERI was started in April 2006 with the aim of enhancing educational links between India and the UK. In the last five years, UKIERI has played a pivotal role in establishing a step change in the educational relations between the two countries. NIT Calicut and Leeds University, UK are academic partners through a UKIERI programme.
