In a bid to spread the cause, the students of the college planted 150 saplings alongside the road from Govanur to Rayaruthupathy. MLA.V.C.Arukutty of Kavundampalayam constituency joined the students to motivate them to support the most important environmental concerns at the moment.

Hence, efforts need to to made today to secure a better, greener future of the generations to come".
The students also evoked the wise words of Mahatma Gandhi, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world" and worked with zeal to bring more green cover.
