The South Indian Education Society with its allied colleges and school has been a unique pathfinder for more than eight decades. Excellence being its hall mark, the institution has always strived to instill values and practice. From basic sciences and arts to high-end technology, SIES has played host to some of the most eminent personalities. Chromatography and spectroscopy are the pillars of chemical analysis and is like an axle on which the chemical industries revolve; this alone can be the reason that these topics are taught at the undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students of biological sciences and engineering. While these subjects are dealt in theoretical classes majority of the students do not have an opportunity or access to familiarize these students with instruments during their academic years in the college. When the students face the challenge of working with these instruments in their research career or industry jobs, they would definitely feel that it would have been better for them to have seen and worked with these instruments during their college days. It is also felt that the teachers, who are teaching these subjects also would like to have some contact time with these instruments so that they have sufficient practical experience to teach these modules quite effectively to students. The SIES Institute of Chromatography and Spectroscopy is a new star born under the SIES umbrella recently in December 2013 and the tall aim of this institute is to provide detailed theoretical education and training for both students and teachers. It is also intended to give education and training for the chemists from the industry, who would require such training. We wiil be periodically conducting seminars and workshops which will be conducted by some of the most experienced people on instrumentation and applications in the field of Pharmaceuticals, Forensics and Sports doping, Organic Chemistry Research etc.of impurities and quantitation.
