Waste Management

As the college premises is spread over an area of 51 acres 37 R, it is challenging to maintain the serenity of the campus.
The institute has accepted this challenge by developing its own mechanism for waste management. The civil department and campus development committee of the college deals with the issues related to maintenance.
