Vermicompost Pit

The Vermicompost Pit, located between the PTA block (Room No. MR 147) and the Dennis block, serves as a key facility for sustainable waste management on campus. It efficiently processes organic waste, primarily food scraps, by converting it into nutrient-rich compost through the use of earthworms. This eco-friendly process helps reduce the volume of waste sent to landfills while producing valuable compost that is used to enrich the campus gardens and green spaces.

The college supports this initiative with green-colored bins placed strategically around the campus for easy segregation of organic waste. The collected waste is systematically processed under the supervision of trained non-teaching staff, who ensure the smooth operation of the plant through regular monitoring and maintenance.

By diverting food waste from traditional disposal methods, the Vermicompost Plant reduces the college’s environmental footprint, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and promotes ecological sustainability. The compost produced enhances soil quality, supporting the growth of healthy plants and improving the aesthetics of the campus landscape.

This facility also serves as an educational tool for students and staff, raising awareness about sustainable waste management practices and encouraging eco-conscious behaviors across the campus community.
