Orientation of faculty is needed and timely guidance while selecting the students who are truly economically disadvantaged. Best Practice 2: The College has always shown concern about the environmental issues, hence conducted programs like tobacco free campus, polythene free campus, plantation, sanitation drive etc. Use of plastic bags and cups are discouraged in the campus. Even in the canteen usage of steel plates/ leaf plates and steel cups or paper cups are mandatory. The primary goal is to provide a healthy environment and superior quality of life to the students during their short but important stay at the college campus.
