JAMMU: The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Sciences, Central University of Jammu, under the patronage of Hon’ble Vice Chancellor Prof. Sanjeev Jain, organized an educational industrial visit to Synthimed Labs Pvt. Ltd., Samba to provide Master’s students with practical exposure and enhance their understanding of career avenues in the chemical industry.
A group of 42 Master’s students, accompanied by Dr. Satyanarayana Battula, Associate Professor, Department of Chemistry, visited the industrial facility at 10:30 AM, where they were warmly welcomed by company officials. The visit commenced with a comprehensive safety briefing, covering plant regulations, use of protective gear, restricted zones, and emergency protocols.
Students were then taken on a guided tour of various operational sections of the facility, including the power supply control room and the temperature maintenance unit, where officials elaborated on the significance of solvents and controlled heating–cooling systems in industrial chemical reactions. A key highlight of the visit was the tour of the Reactor Section, where large-scale synthesis of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) is carried out. Here, students learned about different reactor types, process monitoring techniques, and safety mechanisms involved in bulk chemical manufacturing.
The delegation also visited the Quality Testing Laboratory, where they observed advanced analytical instruments such as FTIR, potentiometer, particle size analyser, and chiral chromatography columns. Industry experts explained their operating principles and their crucial role in ensuring product purity and compliance with regulatory standards.
Students expressed that the visit was highly enriching, offering valuable insights into industrial workflows, process chemistry, analytical testing, and real-world applications of concepts learned during their coursework. The exposure also helped them gain a clearer understanding of career opportunities in pharmaceutical manufacturing, R&D, and analytical chemistry.
The Head of the Department, Dr. Sujata Kundan, along with the faculty team, conveyed heartfelt gratitude to the Hon’ble Vice Chancellor for his constant encouragement and support.
