Science education is central to the development of any society. This can be achieved only by revamping the undergraduate programme to make it effective and meaningful. The development of scientific temper in society necessitates proper education and guidance. In order to achieve this, one must update the developments in the field of science. An effective science education can be imparted at the undergraduate level only by revamping the present curriculum. To achieve this goal, the curriculum should be restructured by emphasising various aspects such as the creativity of students, knowledge of current developments in the discipline, awareness of environmental impacts due to the development of science and technology, and the skills essential for handling equipments and instruments in laboratories and industries. Chemistry, being an experimental science, demands testing theories through practical laboratory experiences for a thorough understanding of the subject. Nowadays, chemistry laboratories in academic institutions use large amounts of chemicals. The awareness and implementation of eco-friendly experiments becomes a global necessity. It is essential to ensure that laboratory chemicals are used at a minimal level without affecting the skill and understanding aimed through laboratory sessions. This creates an environmental awareness among the students and pollution free atmosphere in the campus.
