I am pleased to introduce the English edition of Inorganic Chemisty for B.S.c. Part-I students. Since long I had been asked to do so, people even used to say me that I treat the English medium students as my step children, thats why I am not thinking about them. But due to one or the other thought in my mind, the conditions and circumstances surrounding me did not allow me to do this. But this time with the grace of God and blessings of “Maa Saraswati” I could do so and attempted to give this first English edition. I hope teachers and students will appreciate my effort and give me full support and suggestions to improve it.
