The Department of Chemistry, Kakojan College started functioning with Higher Secondary Courses from 1994. The degree level pass-course Chemistry was introduced in 2001. The Degree Honours course in Chemistry was started in 2010. The Department of Chemistry, Kakojan College has always given due stress and importance on its main activity, namely the dissemination of Chemical Knowledge and transfer of Chemical skills to its undergraduate and senior secondary students. The department regularly organizes seminars/special talk, under which scheme the get the learn directly from some of the best teachers/scientist from other institutions.
Vision: To build foundation for excellence and spur development of the institution as a premier institution, by igniting and nurturing enthusiasm, interest and passion, in the study of Chemistry, in professional courses, as a part of curricula. Mission:  To awaken the young minds and discover their talents both in theory and practical chemistry, through dedication to teaching, commitment to students and innovative instructional methods.  to support the developmental activities of the college and make the Department vibrant.  To organise critical contributions in areas with special emphasis on faculty, labs, department library and demonstrate a high level of competence in the study of Chemistry.  To produce graduates of international distinction, committed to integrity, professionalism and life long learning by widening their knowledge horizons in range and depth
