🎙️ रसायनवाणी (Rasayanwani): Igniting the Spirit of Chemistry through Voice! 🔬📻
In a first-of-its-kind initiative in the region, the Department of Chemistry at Shri Shivaji Science College, Nagpur, proudly launched रसायनवाणी (Rasayanwani) — an innovative and student-centric online radio station dedicated to chemistry.
The visionary behind this unique platform is Dr. Sarang S. Dhote, whose passion for making chemistry engaging and accessible led to the creation of Rasayanwani. This interactive internet radio station brings chemistry alive through storytelling, insightful talks, and fascinating facts — all narrated in a way that sparks curiosity and deepens understanding.
With enthusiastic support from distinguished faculty members, Rasayanwani goes beyond the conventional classroom to narrate the journey of chemical discoveries, unravel the wonders of molecular science, and explain complex concepts in simple, relatable terms.
🚀 A Platform for Student Voices
Continuing his efforts to promote participatory learning, Dr. Dhote initiated a hands-on podcasting drive during the academic session 2024-25, mentoring students on how to create their own chemistry-based podcast episodes. This led to an exciting wave of student-created content, with numerous podcasts already uploaded and streamed via the Rasayanwani portal.
Under his guiding principle of "Knowledge Sharing – From the Students, To the Students," Rasayanwani has truly become a platform where learning meets creativity, and chemistry finds its voice.
