Dust is removed on regular basis, proper pest management is done to minimize the problems caused by insects. Annual maintenance contract is regularly renewed for pest control. Maintenance and Utilization of Seminar Halls and Auditorium :The college has an auditorium and seminar hall [Rabindraneer] along with individual seminar rooms of various departments. They are under the purview of the civil engineer and electricians. Cleanliness is taken care of by the housekeeping team. Effective utilisation of seminar hall and auditorium is maintained by organising academic meetings, seminars, Faculty Development Programmes,workshops, conferences, Art & Science exhibition and cultural events [Graduation day, Annual day, Alumni Meet, College Foundation Day celebration, National Day celebration etc.]. For accessing the facilities, the organising faculty/staff member submits an application form to the Principal through HOD and the date of event is registered and the halls are accessed on priority basis.   |
