Ecofriendly Campus: Biodiversity Live

The vast area of the college goes live with its green policy. ) The manifestation of the "Go Green" tree campaign truly finds expression in every nook and corner of the RR Lalan College to a great extent. For example it is worthy to mention that despite the region being an arid region the college through its efforts towards environmental protection has ensured the plantation and successful maintenance of more than 700 trees ensuring a pristine green cover for the students, faculties, and also for the wildlife that includes animals, birds and reptiles. Hence also as part of the pedagogy a Botanical garden has been established which serves as a centre for ecological consciousness and learning. For the students and for the community at large, a beautiful Garden has also been developed to help the people appreciate the gift of nature, especially during the months of summer. Further, regularly, the campus conducts plantation drive with various stakeholders including the alumni and public representatives.
