and well being of nature. As our college is located by the side of state highway, it is also prone to

be affected by pollution emitted by various sources. Moreover, the college campus is spread over

an area 10 acres with requisite features to make it as a green campus.

The Practice:

Keeping the above context in view, our college initiated environmental friendly practices such as

usage of public transport, maintaining the college campus plastic free, reducing paper usage and

more plantations on college campus.

No plastic day observed in our college by the students and faculty on 4th Saturday in every month
Most of the staff and students use public transport for commuting. In addition, no vehicle day is being on 3rd Saturday of every month.
Both staff and students are instructed to get reusable water bottles and reusable lunch boxes thus restricting them from getting single use items and make sure that all waste goes to the dust bins instead of throwing in public places
The college conducts rallies and sensitization programs to bring awareness among public health hazards caused due usage of plastics.

As the world is being digitalized, paperless these activities put into practice science October 2014
Methods are adopted by communicating circulars through mails and whatsapp group

Evidence of Success:

The success is evident at a glance of vast green campus, pollution free campus.
Problems encountered and Resources required

of public transport, maintaining the college campus plastic free, reducing paper usage. However,
