  • Department of Physical Education and Women’s Cell recently organized a programme of self-defence skill especially for girl students

    A few health-related issues were also organized. The issues include :

  • Awareness about Thalassemia and its detection
  • AIDS
  • Application of medicinal plants
  • First aid training by St. John’s Ambulance
  • Blood donation camps are organized with great importance by the Students‘ Union and NSS.

    Departments like Geography and Anthropology further extends social outreach programmes in a unique manner. During their Academic excursions and field trips, the students and teachers figure out some local issues that relate to society and offer short term support during their stay. The college therefore has a tradition of promoting institution-neighborhood community network and students‘ engagement. The practice is not confined to seminars and awareness campaigns alone, several field works and practical applications are also undertaken by different departments.
