SRINAGAR, Aug 7: Two –day National Conference on Nano and Supramolecular Chemistry (NCNSC-2025) commenced today at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Srinagar.
The inaugural session was presided over by Prof Mohammad Akbar Khuroo, former Professor at Department of Chemistry, University of Kashmir.
Addressing the gathering virtually, Director NIT Srinagar, Prof Binod Kumar Kanaujia, hoped that the rich deliberations and knowledge-sharing from distinguished speakers will inspire young minds attending this conference.
Speaking on the occasion, Prof Roohie Naaz Mir, Dean R&C, highlighted the transformative potential of nano-chemistry and supramolecular chemistry in various domains, including medicine, energy, and materials science.
Registrar Prof Atikur Rehman, in his address, said this conference is a platform for dialogue, discovery, and direction, a space where groundbreaking ideas will be exchanged, future collaborations will be initiated, and innovations will be sparked.
In his presiding address, Prof Mohammad Akbar Khuroo said that nano and supramolecular chemistry can play a crucial role in overcoming the challenges posed by contemporary medicine.
Prof. Khuroo urged young researchers to pursue science with a mission. This is one of the finest subjects for aspiring scientists. It will be a golden opportunity for young researchers to engage with new ideas and breakthroughs, he added.
In her inaugural address, HOD Chemistry and Chairperson of the conference, Prof Kowsar Majid, explained how nano chemistry focuses on designing materials at the atomic and molecular scale, while supramolecular chemistry explores self-assembled molecular systems via non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, stacking, and host–guest chemistry.
Earlier in his welcome address, Dr Jigneshkumar V Rohit said that the goal of NCNSC-2025 is to deliberate on recent advancements in nano and supramolecular materials and encourage interdisciplinary collaboration in chemical sciences. A formal vote of thanks was presented by Dr Ravi Kumar.
