Problems encountered & resource required

Main problem in keeping the campus green as well as planting trees is termite soil. College takes various initiative to make the soil termite free.

• No funds are allocated to fulfil the purpose. So funds should be allocated to serve the purpose.
• As this college is a government body and we have very limited resources such as man power etc.
• It is a great challenge to plant the trees on the college ground because the soil of the college is not only termite soil but it is a big barren land and to grow anything on this type of land is not easy.
• Next problem is to manage the availability of water for land and plants. Accepting these challenges college took help from an NGO ‘Manav Jagrati  Manch’ for planting approximately 2000 medicinal, shady and other useful plants and maintain them.
