Overview

RDC in association with Sharda School of Engineering and Science (Science Division), will be organizing this event. The guest lecture will focus on the strategies in developing varied heterogeneous materials and nanocomposites, their competence as efficient catalysts in synthesizing various novel bioactive heterocyclic moieties by a multicomponent approach under green conditions. The session will also guide research scholars and faculty members working in this area.
