To make the campus lush green.
To sensitize, encourage, engage students, staff, stake holders towards environment sustainability.
To plant medicinal, ornamental and fruit bearing trees in the college campus.
To create environmental awareness about plastic prohibition.
To promote conservation and sustainable use of resources.
The Context:
   Rajasthan faces several environmental challenges like low rainfall and extreme climate conditions. . State government has mandate tree plantation and plastic prohibition in colleges to conserve and enhance environmental resources.
   Thus tree plantation and green campus drive by the college students ensure stability of eco-system. Trees play a significant role in maintaining equilibrium of the environment. Many ecological process like soil cover, balancing green house gases, oxygen production, monsoon cycle, rainfall pattern are governed by trees. Trees diminishes the severe effects of global warming.
The Practice:
   The best practice of our college is to plant medicinal, ornamental, fruit bearing and shady trees in the campus and making it lush green. Students are motivated to plant saplings in the campus, watering and taking care of them. The whole area of college is landscaped with shady trees tagging it to "Green Campus". The college administration offer saplings to the guests instead of flower bouquets to promote tree plantation.

Students are also encouraged to limit energy usage by switching off electricity when not needed. . The administration has also replaced the traditional light bulbs with LEDs of energy. The girls are made aware of reduction of green house gas emissions by reducing our use of energy,

Students are also steered towards "No plastic" usage Display boards are put at various places . By reducing plastic waste and plastic use, there would be a reduction in harmful carbon dioxide emissions . Students are encouraged to use steel bottles and tiffin boxes, paper and cloth bags and discourage use of polythene, plastic bottles and disposables in the campus.

Evidence Of Success:
   The college campus is covered with various ornamental, medicinal fruit bearing and shady. trees, herbs and shrubs. Students of NSS participate actively in the tree plantation drive. The campus is enriched with variety of plant species. Many trees are tagged with their botanical as well as common names. Saplings are protected by tree guards to give them a safe environment. As a result of tree plantation drive, the quality of air in the campus is very good.
Harit Vatika is also developed in the campus which has many fruit bearing plants as well as medicinal plants. Fencing has been laid down to safeguard the saplings.
Problems Encountered And Resources Required :
The major problem encountered in making the campus green is the presence of termite in the soil which does not allow the plant to grow. Anti-termite treatment is done in the soil to make the saplings grow adequately. Many large trees have died due to termites in the soil.
The college campus does not have proper boundary wall therefore grazing animals enter the campus and ruin the saplings.
In rainy season, due to poor drainage, the water stagnates, in the campus for many days resulting in swamps

These girls of age group 18-21 years are the major backbone of healthy and strong India, Harnessing this, India's demographic dividend, and turning them into capital base of the country, is the institutional distinctiveness. Also giving them educational facilities with affordability constraints is of paramount importance. Thus, our institution supports the implementation of SDG'S (sustainable development goals) of our country.
