Energy conservation program:
Light Bulb Replacement
It is estimated that replacing traditional incandescent bulbs with CFLs/LED can cut lighting costs by up to 75%. The college has adopted a policy to exchange such traditional incandescent bulbs across campus with CFLs/LED in a phased manner. Thus, at least 25 % of the bulbs had been changed with CFLs/LEDs.
Bold Sticker Reminders
The college as part of their ‘Energy Awareness Campaign’ has placed adhesive stickers on switch boards to remind everyone to conserve energy by turning off the lights. Small pamphlets emphasising the importance of energy saving is prepared and circulated to all the staff and students of the college.
Water conservation program
Sensitizing the staff and students
The students arriving on campus and to the hostels are sensitized about water conservation in their orientation meetings. Printed stickers / labels with the slogan ‘Save Water’ are fixed in strategic places of the college and hostels.
Cutting back on car washing
The vehicles on the campus are washed based on the real needs rather than regular washing to save water.
Irrigation Techniques and Duel Flushing Systems
The gardens are irrigated with sprinklers and drip irrigation systems to save the wastage of water in plantations.
All the existing flushes in the toilets are being changed into duel flush system in a phased manner to conserve water.
Recycle programs
Green wastes, like tree and brush trimmings, are composted and reused for fertilizer and preparing composts.
Food waste is also cut down by implementing self serving of food by the students, so they aren’t tempted to waste food. Further, the food remains are collected systematically and used for preparing composts manure in the dig wells which is used for the gardening purposes.
Hazardous solvent systems are recycled / disposed in a safe manner.
The waste water from the utility areas of the hostels, and the college are subjected to treatment before being flushed to the public drainage system.
Green Policy for the use of papers

Transportation policy:
The college has a transportation system that serves the staff and students 3 vehicles for official transits/travels. Further, sharing the transport among the staff / students residing in the same locality is also encouraged to conserve the fuel.
