The Departments of Science organized a Career Guidance Programme for the students of Sciences on March 3, 2020. Dr.Jaya Prakash Gandhi, Career Consultant and Analyst, Chennai was the Resource person.  He motivated students to undertake interdisciplinary courses.

The students from Department of Physics visited Thirukandalam village in Thiruvallur district on February 28, 2020 to create awareness on the importance of hand washing and cleanliness in daily lives under Unnath Bharath Abiyyan Scheme. Through Skit and a song, students reinforced the concept of Cleanliness, proper hand wash, and self-hygiene to village people.

In 1928 an Indian Scientist Sir C.V Raman discovered a phenomenon known as Raman Effect and for his remarkable discovery in 1930 he got Nobel Prize, which was the first Nobel Prize in India in the field of Science and to mark this discovery every year National Science Day is celebrated on February 28. To celebrate the same, the Staff and Students of Departments of Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry visited Government Elementary School at Siruvapuri village and demonstrated Basic Science Concepts.

On February 17, 2020 the Department organized an Interdepartment competitions for Department of Mathematics, Chemistry, Computer Science and Computer Applications students, in which various ON and OFF stage Events were conducted.

On February 01, 2020 Department of Physics organized a field visit to Periyar Science and Technology.

On January 11, 2020 Department of Physics arranged an EVS Field Visit to SRCM Heart Fullness Meditation Centre. The students were taught to do Yoga and meditation and also process of making seed balls was shown, and the students tried doing it with enthusiasm.

Departments of Science organized an interactive session with Mr.M.A.Shamsudeen, Earthquake Scientist and Dr.E.Syed Mohammed, Cresent institute of Science and Technology on the occasion of Dr.A P J Abdul Kalam’s memorial day on August 26, 2019. He spoke on prevention on earthquake.

Department of Physics organized a One –day Workshop on “DBT Foldscope-Assembly and Usage “on August 22, 2019. The workshop was conducted under the Foldscope project grant from the Department of Biotechnology, MHRD, Government of India with a view to popularize science and trigger excitement in it. The session was handled by Dr. D. Uthra, Head, Department of Physics, D.G.Vaishnav College. The workshop provided awareness and training on assembling and usage of foldscope in observing various specimens.

Department of Physics organized a workshop on “Handling Physics Apparatus” on August 20, 2019. To develop practical skills and to make understandable learning, various experiments were taught to Higher Secondary students of Chennai Girls Hr. Sec School, Perambur.

The Department of Physics observed Zero Shadow on April 24, 2019 there is no shadow exactly at 12.07 pm when the sun is exactly at zenith. Students traced the shadow of different objects at 12.07 PM. When the sun is at the zenith (the highest point in the sky) its rays will be hitting a particular point exactly perpendicular to the surface. This will make the shadow be exactly under any object, making it look like there are no shadows.The apparent path of the Sun goes from 23.5 degrees south of our equator to 23.5 degrees north of it through the year, so every place on the Earth between the Tropics of Cancer and Tropics of Capricorn, will have two days in a year where the Sun will be directly overhead once during `Uttarayan’ (summer solstice -when sun begins its movement away from the Tropic of Capricorn, towards the Northern Hemisphere) and once during `Dakshinayan’ (winter solstice - period when Sun travels back from Cancer to Capricorn that is from North to South). These are called Zero Shadow Days or ZSDs for that location. For India these days happen during the time period from April to September.             

1.LECTURE BY DR.JEROME DAS

A special lecture was organized on “physics as pleasure and popular” on February 21, 2020. The resource person was Dr.S. Jerome Das, Head, Associate Professor, Department of Physics, Loyola College.

2.LECTURE BY DR.ILANGOVAN

To improve the knowledge on the applications of Physics in daily life, Department of Physics, C.T.T.E College for Women, organized a special lecture on “What is Physics” on September 20, 2019. The resource person of the day, Dr.K.Ilangovan, Retd., Associate Professor, Department of Physics, RKM Vivekananda College, spoke on the applications of Physics in daily life. In his speech, he focused on the need to learn a subject with proper understanding rather than rote memorizing.
