The shine of chemistry in basic science i.e. traditional science has increased further after Covid-19 . Chemistry has an important contribution in the rapid increase in the production of medical resources after the Corona period. The importance of chemistry has increased further in India after Covid-19. There is no doubt that whether it is America or Japan , if applied science progressed there, then a strong foundation of basic science was laid first , only then work started in the field of applied science. India's progress also rests on the strong foundation of basic science. Whatever work is being done in applied science or interdisciplinary science today , there is definitely a strong foundation of basic science somewhere in it. In this form, basic science like chemistry also has an important role. Chemistry is also the basis of our country's progress somewhere. Be it the matter of chemicals related to agriculture or the use of new medicines in the field of medicine , all have been developed by experts of chemistry somewhere. Today chemistry is needed in everything from petrol related products to the world of the Internet.
It is worth noting that chemistry is the central field of science. On one hand, it is a field of physics. Chemistry is a broad subject. It is related to both microscopic and macroscopic properties. It is related to all types of materials , organic , inorganic , biological and all types of changing processes and transformations etc. Whatever we get , we get it through chemical processes. All the medicines are made from chemicals . In this way , chemicals are used in most of the cosmetics also. Today, the influence of this subject can be seen in every field. At present, the market is full of consumer goods. Whether it is clothes or shoes , various types of patents or medicine manufacturing work , the need of chemistry is seen everywhere. It is also in demand in building construction works. If seen, today most of the industries are providing employment opportunities to students related to chemistry in different forms. Sometimes as a researcher , sometimes as a chemist and sometimes for lab work.
