In response to this, the college planned to carry out tree plantation drive at the college campus and nearby areas of the college every year in the rainy season. Every year students along with the garden staff plant trees. Plant growth is checked by continuous monitoring by the college. Students are actively involved in growing and maintaining the plants. All the plants in the campus are tagged with their botanical names. Evidence of success: Due to this plantation drive over the years the campus has become lush and green. Also, a herbal garden consisting of plants with medicinal values is cultivated in the college campus. It is the result of this plantation drive that students participated in the program of the plantation started by college.
