Energy Conservation Approach
A description of an effort and why it matters
Because of good availability of natural light and cross-ventilation in the building the College is able to minimize the use of electric lighting, air-conditioning etc.
students, faculty and other college staffs are encouraged to switches-off all the electric appliances before leaving the classrooms and staff room as well.
The College have botanical gardens and numerous small lawns within built spaces. This helps keep energy requirements relatively lower. for example During lunch hours the student use lawn for study and leisure purpose in winter and uses tree shelter in summers. The teachers use one such lawn facing the staff room, during winters facing the sun, instead of depending on high energy-consumption heaters.
Use of Renewable Energy

Thus the college constructed "In-situ Modern Hybridize Compost Pit" which is named as "Deshbandhu Model Compost pit" to convert green waste in to manure effectively and efficiently.
