What are the differences between chemistry, industrial chemistry, and applied chemistry?

Hi Sneha, Industrial Chemistry is the branch of chemistry which applies physical and chemical processes towards the transformation of raw materials into products that are of benefit to humanity. The Industrial Chemistry graduate is a chemist with knowledge linkages in engineering, chemical processing, economics and industrial management. Applied Chemistry is the scientific field for understanding basic chemical properties of materials and for producing new materials with well-controlled functions. Currently, as the human society is more complicated, the research fields of Applied Chemistry are expanding to a wider range. To name a few, it will make our society sustainable to create clean and benign materials using energy-saving methods without destroying the natural environment, and incurable diseases will be prevented by new medicines and medical technologies that we can develop. Our department of Applied Chemistry includes chemistry, engineering, physics, earth science, biology, medical science, pharmacy, and so on. Pure Chemistry like the way it is termed, refers to the study of only pure theory of chemistry, e.g. Organic Chemistry, Inorganic chemistry, Physical chemistry etc. Mostly, one's aim is to seek more answers to academia questions and to enlarge the pool of information that previous chemists already have at hand.
