People with disabilities find many difficulties in pursuing the higher education due to architectural barriers within the campus. It has been felt that differently-abled persons need special arrangements in the college
environment for their mobility and independent functioning.
Our institution provides barrier-free environment which enables people with disabilities can move about safely and freely and use the facilities within
the built environment. We have been awarded a grant-in-aid of Rs. 1.08 Crores under the “Scheme for Implementation of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act (SIPDA)” scheme by Department of Empowerment of Persons
with Disability, GoI. Under this scheme, all of our buildings are provisioned with special facilities such as Ramps, Rails, Special toilets and make other necessary changes to suit the special needs of differently-abled
persons. This environment supports the independent functioning of individuals so that they can participate without assistance in everyday activities within the campus.
The institution provides ramp facility to disabled persons for the easy access of various places in the campus. All the buildings in our campus are provided with Ramps which are carefully designed as per the specifications to be required by the disabled persons.

Rain Water Harvesting / Percolation PondOur institution has unveiled a rainwater harvesting system with an objective to re-charge the subsoil water level in order to meet the demand during the summer due to scarcity of rain. The pond is located on the south eastern side of our campus is the lowest portion of the site contour which collects the surface falloff during the monsoon and rainy days. Rain water which is collected from the storm water drainage system is designed to let out into the rainwater harvesting pond with adequate slope. This Rainwater Harvesting Pond of size measuring 20mx20mx1.5m could able to store & percolate the total capacity of 3.5 lakhs of water storage. This system helps to retain the subsoil water in the nearby region of Lawspet area and PWD operated pumping station.
Plastic Free CampusColleges can generate enormous amounts of plastic waste, which is toxic to people and the environment, and never goes away.

An initiative by IIT Bombay to work with engineering colleges to enhance the the teaching skills of faculty in core Engineering and Science subjects. This project envisions empowerment of teachers, through workshops conducted for thousands of teachers and students at one go, using a unique blend of technology and an innovative pedagogy. Thousands have experienced the effectiveness of this approach, and of the resulting open source contents. Under the programme, IIT Bombay conducts ISTE workshops during the vacation period in summer and winter. Teachers attend the workshops at a designated Remote Center (RC), close to their own college. Lectures are delivered by faculty from IIT Bombay, while tutorials and lab sessions are conducted locally in the same RC. The lecture transmission and live interaction take place in a virtual classroom environment, using the AVIEW technology on the internet.
