The Department of Tourism runs the Tourism club of the College
on the support and guidelines issued by the District Tourism
Promotion Council (DTPC). The initiative for starting the
club was made in December 2002, and was started during the
year 2003-04. In this club, 50 students were enrolled and
2 teachers were appointed as teacher co-ordinators. The
main objective of Tourism club is to make the younger generation
participate in the developmental activities of tourism.
It is also intended to create awareness about the socio-economic
relevance of tourism for the development of the state. Another
objective of this venture is to make an impression on the
importance and relevance of tourism among the students and
to generate a positive attitude towards tourism.
