The institute purchased energy saving instruments; the institution has installed the solar panels ongrid system in the college campus for the total capacity of 5 KV. The institute has surveyed the total campus and made the provision to conserve the rain water through a series of Continuous Contour Trench (CCT) built on the slopes facing the campus. A special provision is made to collect run off rain water from playground and it is stored on campus to sustain underground water level. Roof water from building is used for recharging the well and it is made available for green campus during summer season. We have built soak pits for management of waste water. College is well-known for its rich biodiversity with well maintained Rose Garden, Lawns and Botanical garden. A special effort has been made for carbon neutrality through the plantation of thousands o f Nerium seedlings along the road sides of the campus.

The department has organized bird conservation programmes in tribal area. Best Practices • Vermiculture: The Department of Zoology has maintained a vermiculture project. Through this project, organic waste from 32 acres land is converted into vermicompost. It helps to create awareness among the students having agrarian background. It helps to control environmental pollution and develops eco-friendly practices among the students. • Hb Check-up and Counseling Programme for girl students: Mostly students are from rural area and socio-economically backward families. They lack health consciousness especially among the girl students. The proportion of anaemic girl students is found highly significant. The main goal is to make them aware about their health for the betterment of society. • Green Gym for students and citizens: Our students come from the surrounding rural area where little health facilities are available. They need scientifically designed exercise equipments that are maintenance free. The citizens of the town also need simple yet effective way to maintain their health. Many citizens visit the college ground for morning walk and ground exercise. These include senior citizens too. Considering both the students and citizens our goal is to contribute a health practice to their lifestyle. • Azolla cultivation: a sustainable feed for livestock: The Department of Botany has maintained Azolla project in the Botanical garden. Most of our students are from agrarian background. Their families depend upon farming and traditional nutritional sources for their cattle. But they are mostly unaware about the nutritional value and as an ideal feed of cattle, fish, pigs and poultry, and also as a bio-fertilizer for wetland crops of Azolla. Through this activity we provide seedlings and also guide about cultivation methods to the farmers.
