Indian
community is gasping under the clutches of superstitions
and students are no exception. Superstition is a menace
that hinders the growth of mankind. Man can grow only through
sheer hard work, purity of mind and scientific thinking.
These qualities must be inculcated in the early stage of
life, otherwise it is difficult to modulate the mindset
of students. With these objectives, the faculty and students
of the College constituted the science forum years back
and since its inception we regularly conduct programmes
related to science.
In the year 2001, three talks were conducted:
(a) A talk on ‘Frontiers of Science’ by Prof.
Girija Vallabhan, Director of
School of Photonics, CUSAT.
(b) A talk by mathematical wizard Loveligen on relativity.
(c) A talk by Prof. M.A. John on Biodiversity.
In 2002, An inter collegiate science exhibition was conducted
and students from 10 Colleges participated .
In 2003, and 2004, Live experimental Quiz was conducted
and the students took part with much enthusiasm.
In 2005, a debate, “Is Astrology, A Science ?”
was conducted. A heated debate followed and a number of
students and teachers took part actively.
Debate on “Cloning – A boon or Curse”
was organised on 24th August 2006. Two teams
consisting of Six members each from the Staff and Students
participated in the debate. Prof.Varghese S.Nedumthallil
was the moderator.
A seminar
in collaboration with RASTA ( Rural Agency for Social and
Technologica Advancement) on "Bio-Farming" was organised to
give awareness about the importance of Bio-Farming to
agricultural workers near to the campus, parents and
students of the college. The Programme was formally
inaugurated with a talk delivered by Mr.Dhanesh
Kumar(RASTA,Wayanad). Mr.C.K.Vishnudas of RASTA also took
classes on effective Bio-farming.
The
activiities of the year 2008-2009 started with a science
exhibitioni-Specturm2008". The exhibition was inaugurated by
the college trust secretary Sri.C.V.Jacob in the presence of
Principal Prof. Joy C George on 17th December 2008. The
