While quiz was going on Dr.Chobe and Dr.Rana interacted with chemistry teachers at a separate venue. They told that you as teachers got an opportunity to groom young scientist in such a way so that they could think in a right direction to serve the mankind. Going out of the way in working place for betterment may have problems of its own kind but if you believe in it go ahead and you will succeed. Students do not require teacher for imparting syllabus only but to ignite a spark in them.

One very interesting session was conducted by Dr.Arindam Rana who did his research at Indian Association for The Cultivation of Science, Kolkata in Synthetic Coordination Chemistry mimetic of Bioinorganic molecules. He got his  Ph.D. Degree from Jadavpur University in 1998 and did his postdoctoral research in Metalloporphyrin Chemistry at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, USA [2002-2003]

His session was full of excitement where he quickly played with several chemicals and also common substances to perform various reaction.
