Green & Clean Campus


An educational institution, besides being a learning-centre, is a self-contained community that is supported by a vast number of operational functions. Green campus where environmentally friendly practices are adopted for the sustainable development is one of them. Green campus concepts that needs to be part & parcel of our day today life include environment-friendly developmental activities, prohibiting activities that results in degradation of environment. By adopting environment friendly practices and initiating measures that can keep our campus clean & green we can protect our campus as well as environment from degradation.

Green campus initiatives require minimum waste production, environment friendly waste disposal system, efficient garbage collection, promoting of garden plantation, use of energy-efficient equipment and adoption of energy efficient technologies. Clean and green campus is not just about sweeping away wasteful things it is about adopting green and clean practices and implementing them to produce desired output.

Hygienic-standards and associated aesthetic values in campus has been one of the best practices of the college since inception. The college has an open space around its main building and plantation around it is maintained with utmost care by NSS and green campus volunteers. Plants and flower-pots that surround the open space add beauty and peace to the open space. Cleanness and hygienic conditions are strictly maintained in classrooms, corridors, laboratories, and washrooms of the college. Littering is strictly prohibited in the campus.

Waste bins are installed at appropriate places throughout the campus. The collected waste is duly disposed-off to keep the campus green and clean. Our campus is not just about teaching & learning – it's also about taking care of the planet (Earth) by keeping it neat and clean. It's something we're proud of, and we all work together to make it happen! In addition to this, our college is working on some innovative ways to keep our campus eco-friendly. By promoting energy efficient devices and recyclable products our college is playing a leading role in spreading awareness among the students and other communities.
