M.Sc.

Nanotechnology

Started!!!

Editorial

Starting M.Sc. Nanotechnology is a

quantum leap for research Centre (wcRnb) that is still in its

infancy (only a year old). Taking this ambitious leap was

possible only because of the financial and moral support of the

S. A. P. D. J. Pathshala Governing Committee especially Dr. R.

Gandhi, Secretary; Academic and Administrative support of

Principal Dr. A.H. Manikshete and all the staff of Walchand

College of Arts & Science and Coordinator of wcRnb Dr. K.R.

Rao and the technical support from all the staff members of

wcRnb and Prof. Maheshwar Sharon. They made all our

teething troubles very nano and bearable.

The hurdle that we faced was a long wait to receive final

permission from the Govt of Maharashtra. It came so late that

that we found it hard to get students for our M.Sc. Nanotech

course, because most of the graduate students had already

taken admission in other courses. However, timely and efficient

support of Solapur University’s concerned staff and Vice

Chancellor Dr. N.N. Maldaar and above all the entire team of

WCAS made this endeavour possible. In this journey I realized

that it is easy to dream big alone; but to make a dream reality

involves efforts, support and blessings of many....and I have

been lucky.

“Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement”

P e t e r D r u ck e rThere is a misconception that there are no

openings for students who have completed their M.Sc. or

M.Tech. in Nanotechnology. The argument given is that

there is no opening for this field. Students with conventional

courses like Physics, Physical Chemistry also face similar

situation that there is not much opening for students with

these subjects. But it would be difficult to find any student

completed degree in these subjects is unemployed. Though

there is less demand of this subject but there is also less

number of student with these subject. Whereas, students

with M.Sc. in Organic Chemistry find it difficult to get a job

though there are many opening for this subject? This is

because there are large number of students with Organic

Chemistry and hence level of competition becomes tough.

10-15 years ago a similar problem existed with students with

M.Sc. in Biotechnology. But the number of students were less

so was the number of opening. As a result none were

unemployed. Now there are more opening, competition has

become tough hence some students with poor performance

are finding it difficult to get the job which was not the case

few years back.

Students with M. Sc. or M.Tech. in Nanotechnology are

blessed with less competition to get the job because there

are less opening as well as less number of students with

such degree. There would be a time when there will be

more opening as well as more number of students available

in the market and hence they will experience a tough

competition.

In the next few years, we hope that number of requirements

and number of students available with Nanotechnology

degree would be more. Therefore, presently those students

who are taking the degree in Nanotechnology are well off

so far the employment is concentered. I would like to advice

students taking such degree in Nanotechnology should

work hard and sincerely so that you become the leader in

this topic and acquire the best possible job either in the

research organization or in the universities or in the

industries.

I am giving here list of companies, research institutes and

universities where degree in Nanotechnology is being

awarded so that you feel happy to be the part of this newly

emerging science group.

feather

In the cap

In synchronizing with the

recent changes in the field of science and technology, our

institute is always proactive in introducing new and

advanced courses for the benefit of young aspirants.

Walchand College of Arts and science, Solapur, Maharashtra,

has endeavored to imbibe our mission to not only grow in

our respective fields of interest but to keep pace with newer

aspirations of the youth for nation building.

Walchand Center for Research in Nanotechnology and

Bionanotechnology (wcRnb) is our most innovative research

center, it encourages students to live in their dreams and

help them realizing those by constantly pampering their

courage.

Due to the constant follow up of parent institute Shri A.P.D.

Jain Pathashala, this success in getting M. Sc.

Nanotechnology is achieved through integration of talent

and resources which is the true potential of our organization.

It is really a feather in the cap of our institution.

Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle you arrive in- Bill Bradley

BRIGHTER SHADE!!!

Nanotechnology fever has boomed in

India over past decade. The major reason behind is the

beauty of the field which can go hand in glove with other

branches of physics, chemistry, biotechnology, genetics etc.

A master level course in nanotechnology would help next

generation to survive smart amongst the deadly

competition. In India, master of technology (M.Tech) as

well as Master of Science (M.Sc.) are been provided, out of

which about 20 colleges provide M.Sc. in nanotechnology.

Coming from a nanotech background, I

have pursued my master of technology (M.Tech) in

Nanotechnology from G.G.S Indraprastha University, New

Delhi. I learnt different aspects of nanotechnology and I

gained knowledge there. Having said that, to become a

visionary researcher, skill was more important which I

developed after working under the able guidance of Prof.

Maheshwar Sharon & Dr. Madhuri Sharon. It’s a matter of

pride my mentors absorbed me into the nanotechnology

department in Walchand College of Arts & Science,

Solapur. I strongly believe the students enrolled in course

M.sc Nanotechnology under their supreme guidance will

be a fruitful boost to their careers.

To begin with, it is one of the

esteemed colleges in Maharashtra to have started M.Sc.

Nanotechnology. The total number of seats allotted is 25

which gives more opportunity for the students who are

interested to study nanotechnology. The syllabus that was

designed for the course was framed keeping all the major

branches that other universities focused on and some topics

that they lacked. The department is well equipped to support

the course and provide ample hands-on training to provide a

strong foundation to their understanding of

nanotechnology, which I feel is a grade par in our institution.

In addition to all the above key

features of the program, Walchand Centre for Research in

Nanotechnology & Bionanotechnology (WCRNB), a research

lab directed by

Dr. Madhuri Sharon & joint directed by Prof. Maheshwar

Sharon is a platform given to the students to establish their

research interest and mark a global presence.

Our Vision of

Nanotechnology Syllabus!!!

“There is a peculiar aesthetic pleasure in constructing the formof a syllabus, or a book of essays, or a course of lectures. Visionsand shadows of people and ideas can be arranged andrearranged like stained-glass pieces in a window, or chessmenon a board.”A. S. Byatt

Inclusion of nanotechnology in the

science curriculum will foster interdisciplinary explorations of

science. Nanotechnology uses science on the nanoscale,

which occurs at the scale of atoms and molecules. Because

nanotechnology is an emerging interdisciplinary field, it can

be included in physical science, chemistry, physics, biology,

environmental sciences, and engineering. Nanotechnology

provides connections between and among the sciences that

will help students to develop an understanding of the

relationships between disciplines. In general,

nanotechnology “fits” into current Master of science

curriculum because it relies on numerous science concepts

and processes which are part of the National Science

Education Standards. In our M.Sc. Syllabus which based on

the Choice Based Credit System- (CBCS) Pattern we included

the fundamentals of Nanotechnology in Physics, chemistry,

and Biotechnology, and techniques used for fabrications of

Nanomaterials in the first semester.

The Carbon and Nano forms of Carbon, the Properties of

Nanomaterials, Characterization Tools of Nanomaterials,

Nano-medicine can be studied in the second semester. In

the third semester the syllabus consisting of

Nanotechnology & Health care, application of

nanotechnology in everyday life, Nanotechnology in

environment/ ecosystem, computational structure biology

and drug designing. For the fourth semester we have

polymers & nanocomposites, industrial nanotechnology

nanodevises & nanosensors and Thin film technology.

The introduction of the above syllabus our

institute took an initial step to improve students innovative

thinking to grasp the subjects, the possible of making good

products for the better of the society, to produce

environmental friendly nanomaterials and to overcome the

problems of Materials wastages. The further application of

nanotechnology includes Nanomedicine, Nano

biotechnology, Green nanotechnology, Industrial

applications of nanotechnology, and Nanoart these

applications can be possible when able to have a complete

knowledge of Nanotechnology.

All in one learning can be possible through M.Sc. Nanotechnology Syllabus in Walchand College of Arts & Science Solapur

Head of Department

“College is the best time of your life. When else are your parents going to spend several thousand Rupees a year just for you to go to a strange town and have bountiful fun?”

The House is full and we’re looking forward to a super 2016!

A huge warm and a kick-ass welcome to all the fuchchas of

M.Sc. Nanotechnology 2016 batch!!!

It’s a very exciting time for us as we start the 2016 batch of

M.Sc. Nanotechnology.

We were joined by this year’s freshers on 25th August. The

day started with an orientation and fanciful speech from our

beloved Sharon ma’am and Sharon Sir. We had an amazing

interactive session with the students, which I thought they

liked. (Wink wink ;))

While we hosted their parents meeting after a

couple of days, this proved to be very fruitful. We discussed

their weakness, their robustness, their interest in the subject,

what would be the future like after their degree. Information

regarding the expertise faculty members was also provided

so as to give an assurance that the students are in safe

hands. This overall gave a clear picture to the parents as to

how the whole course is going to be conducted.

We are delighted to preach our fresh curious minds who

have set standard expectations from such a new field. We

promise to live up to it and walk them to the nanoworld. As

mentors, we will sow our seeds, water them and wait to

watch till they blossom into plants.

So, come on people get up and smell some coffee and relish

this new world. Study hard!! and party harder!!!!!

Small cheer and great welcome makes a merry feast............

Our Batch

M.Sc. Nanotechnology

It’s a prestige to introduce the first batch

of nanotechnology as tremendous efforts have been put

forth behind this course. The people behind the whole

concept have worked day and night towards the success of

starting this course. Students from various science

backgrounds applied for this competitive course ranging

from Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology &

Biotechnology. Eligible candidates were filtered through an

entrance exam. 17 students were selected out of 27

students who appeared for the exam.

The selected students were given a warm

welcome by conducting an inauguration function hosted

by Dr. Madhuri Sharon and Prof. Maheshwar Sharon. The

inauguration comprised of presentation given by Dr.

Madhuri Sharon which opened a gateway to

Nanotechnology, which immediately instilled a curiosity

and interest amongst the students coming from various

backgrounds. The students were given an insight about

the journey of M.Sc. Nanotechnology.

The students although from different

streams gave hand in hand in helping each other in respect

to sharing subject knowledge. To make learning more

amusing and technically driven, presentation lectures by

faculty experts are been provided to students through web

group sharing. Also to improve communication skills of the

students, a 10 mins presentation is arranged, in which

students actively participate.

We hope that all our efforts in starting the

first batch bring success and happiness to mentors as well as

students and their parents. The success stories of the

students would then create a benchmark for the future

batches to come.

good bye to you. It has been a pleasure working with you

as we navigated both good times and challenging times.

With your cheerful smile, never-ending support we held our

fort effortlessly.

Although we wish you luck, at the prospect of moving to a

new world with new beginnings, we doubt we would ever

be able to do to justice in finding a suitable replacement.

Your absence is definitely going to make our hearts grieve.

You will go away, but your morals, ethics and advice will

always stay with us.

We’ve always admired your persistence to push us again

and again to work towards our best. You have always

catapult us towards success, not subdue us under hierarchy.

We were glad to learn and adapt to the research culture

that you bought in along from various backgrounds.

The talent to handle work pressure without letting out on

the team members, encouraging us despite our mistakes

fetching you undue troubles, convincing the management

are attributes to be appreciated.

We all hope to look forward to work with

you again! We hope that there is nothing but success and

promotions in your career’s destiny. We thank you for your

support and hope to continue to extend your cooperation in

the future endeavor.

“Farewell, to the man whose words we trusted more than operating procedures, checklists and manuals. Your knowledge and experience was always beyond par”

Encouragement! Encouragement!! Encouragement!!!

Is one of the most important part of

life. Encouragement or Motivation in right direction can

make anyone’s life or scatter it. As there are so many good

and bad examples, we at wcRnb want to make my

taught. We want to make them active in every field. To

motivate them in learning their academics we have started

Give them presentational lectures, online notes,

presentations and different extracurricular activities.

We are organizing seminars for students in which they

have to present their knowledge and we reward them

to increase their confidence level.

We are involving students in our Bi-monthly e news letter

to know their creativity & versatility.

Industrial visits will be organized for them to learn and

improve practical knowledge.

We are encouraging them to undergo various

competitions.

We also provide feedback for their every activity.

In our institute foreign faculty visits are also organized to
