Most of its student community hail from the nearby hilly areas with unique geo-climatic conditions and are highly vulnerable to calamities like flash floods. The unprecedented flood of 2018 took a heavy toll on the life and property of the people of the area and some of our students were not spared. This triggered the institution to incorporate sustainable practices to address climate change and protect the environment and thus the Harithachetana practice was introduced.
