Rasayanatva commenced the session 2020-21 with renewed vigor and a new wave of excitement. As the corona virus pandemic plunged everyone into despair and locked at homes, the pressure of not letting virtual interaction a barrier in the functioning of the society developed and hence it became ... requisite for the core- team to switch gears and expand its horizons in terms of creativity and hard work. Regular webinars such as ‘How to cope with mental health during COVID-19 pandemic’, ‘Guide to career opportunities in Chemistry’ etc. featuring esteemed speakers were conducted to help students maximize their knowledge and explore the more interesting sides of Chemistry. The Journal of Rasayanatva is one of the most noteworthy achievement in the previous year. The journal encapsulates review articles on the researches performed by the scientists from the wide spectrum of Chemistry. Instagram series ‘Factophile’ representing a blend of learning and fun through thought-provoking posts is another initiative taken mainly to increase the social media outreach. To impart wisdom and scale the scientific interests in students we also organized a national conference on ‘New frontiers in Biosensing’ where renowned guest speakers from the field of Chemistry addressed the forum. The Chemical Society bid farewell to the students of batch of 2021 in the month of May and wished them luck for future. We also released the seventh edition of our annual magazine called ‘Equilibrium’ this year. The session 2020-21 brought many unprecedented challenges but the overwhelming participation we received in our every endeavor inspired us to not settle. It truly has been a remarkable session. It is our greatest honor to serve you all and we will continue to strive for excellence.
