Mahatma Gandhi Central University (MGCU) was established by an Act of Parliament in 2016 (Central Universities Act, 2009, as amended in 2014) in Motihari, East Champaran, Bihar — the land where Mahatma Gandhi launched his first Satyagraha movement in 1917. The university is committed to excellence in teaching, research, and rural development, with a special focus on promoting knowledge in the fields of science, technology, and social sciences.
Situated in the historically significant region of Champaran, the university aspires to be a center of academic brilliance, drawing students and scholars from across India and around the world.
The Department of Chemistry at MGCU offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs covering all major branches of Chemistry — Organic, Inorganic, Physical, Analytical, and Interdisciplinary Chemistry. The department is home to a vibrant research community working on frontier areas including green chemistry, materials science, computational chemistry, and pharmaceutical chemistry.
With dedicated faculty, modern laboratory facilities, and a commitment to cutting-edge research, the Department of Chemistry is rapidly growing as a hub for chemical sciences in eastern India.
Champaran holds a unique place in India’s freedom struggle. It was here in 1917 that Mahatma Gandhi led the famous Champaran Satyagraha — his first civil disobedience movement in India — protesting against the oppressive indigo cultivation system imposed by British planters. This historic event marked the beginning of the Gandhian era in Indian politics.
East Champaran, with its district headquarters at Motihari, is a land of rich cultural heritage, natural beauty, and historical significance. The region continues to inspire scholars, thinkers, and visitors from around the globe.
