To make the campus GREEN, the College follows a GREEN PROTOCOL in all its activities and functioning. The important aspects of Green Protocol are:
Mandatory Green Audit every year
Avoid the use of all kinds of disposables
Use only steel/glass/porcelain cups & containers instead of those made of paper and plastic
Use and throw carry bags are not allowed in the campus
Staff and students are encouraged to use cloth bags
Always use cloth banners instead of flex
Reduce the use of plastic and paper
Dematerialize the records and documents
Segregate biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste for better management
All the departments and supporting facilities should be zero waste zones
Staff and students should use eco-friendly files
Green gifts only in Events and Functions
The Assumption College community has also proposed a Green Protocol for the Changanacherry Municipality within which the College functions. The College also tries to maintain as much greenery as possible within the Campus and has gardens, orchidariums and herbal gardens within its premises. The College also actively promotes green practices and initiatives among staff and students.
