CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

 NSS

The National Service Scheme (NSS) from the very beginning of the birth of the college has been an important wing of our extension activities. As a functional unit, it undertakes several community-oriented activities on a regular basis which not only ensures social welfare but also makes the students learn the ideal value system, much needed to survive and sustain in the society and make the world a better place. Social-Outreach campaigns are one of best practices of the NSS, along with conducting Campus Cleaning Drive, Tree Plantation, and Special Awareness programmes.

 GARDENING

We have a green Campus filled with trees all around. The students are further motivated to keep the campus clean and are often encouraged towards planting more trees. It not only shapes them into ecologically responsible citizens of the global world but also imbibes in them a sense of responsibility and duty towards nature and society. At the same time, it teaches them generosity and inculcates in them the habit of sharing. The practice of gardening has also proven to ensure the physical and mental well-being of the students.
