Actions for a Pollution-Free Environment
Regular Cleaning: The college is cleaned three to four times daily to ensure hygiene and cleanliness.
Awareness Campaigns: Banners promoting cleanliness are displayed throughout the campus.
Green Spaces: Our campus features lush lawns and diverse flora, maintained by a dedicated team of gardeners and the Beautification Committee. New constructions avoid harming existing trees, and we regularly purchase plants from nurseries to enhance our green cover.
Plantation Drives: Students are encouraged to participate in plantation drives, adopting and nurturing saplings.
Botanical Garden: Our botanical garden includes numerous medicinal and air-purifying plants.
Vehicle Restrictions: To minimize air pollution, vehicle access is restricted in the main building area, promoting pedestrian movement and public transport use. Students receive documents to facilitate transport concessions upon admission.
Plastic-Free Initiatives: The use of plastic bags and disposable plastic utensils is banned in the canteen, and smoking is strictly prohibited on campus, as outlined in the college code of conduct.
Natural Lighting: We maximize the use of natural light in classrooms and offices through ample windows, and we are gradually replacing traditional lighting with energy-efficient LEDs.
Digital Practices: Embracing the digital era, we aim to reduce paper use by transitioning to online communication and procedures. Important information is disseminated via the college’s WhatsApp group and email, minimizing reliance on paper notices. Staff members are encouraged to print double-sided and reduce printouts.
Environmental Awareness: The Beautification Committee actively organizes awareness programs and rallies on environmental sustainability. Signboards throughout the campus reinforce messages of environmental protection, helping to instill green practices in the student body.
Through these initiatives, the college fosters a culture of environmental responsibility, ensuring a sustainable and healthy campus for all.
