A Nature Club is functioning in the College to create awareness among the students, teachers and the public at large and to develop an infrastructure for effective environmental education at grass root level. The club functions as an agency to solve local environmental problems by co-ordinating with Governmental and Non-Governmental Organizations. In 2001-2002 an anti- plastic campaign was conducted followed by a drawing competition on the “Deleterions effects of Plastics to the Environment”. Prizes were distributed by the Principal. In 2003-2004 the club bought several pots and planted saplings to be kept in the veranda of the College. In 2004-2005 the campaign against plastics especially plastic bags was conducted in a more elaborate way. Dr. Shaju Thomas of Nirmala College gave a thought-provoking talk on “Effects of Plastics to the Environment”. The unit with all the students gave a very warm and enthusiastic welcome to the procession carrying sandal wood saplings for replantation at Marayoor Sandal wood forest which depleted due to unhealthy exploitation, thereby making the public aware about the need of protecting the sandal wood forests in particular and all the evergreen tropical forests of Kerala in general.

In future the Nature Clubs intends to take up more elaborate activities, thereby making every citizen in and around Kolenchery aware of the drastic need to protect our environment and thus save the world from disaster.
