Chemistry Education

Indian Chemistry Olympiad programme has catalysed the formation of Indian Association of Chemistry teachers (IACT). Today, the organisation has six zones across India and around 650 life members. It regularly hosts the annual conventions and supports the activities related to chemistry education.
