As a part of the initiative herbal garden has been set up which is a house for more than 150 medicinal plants. These plants have been taxonomically authenticated. To support the herbal garden a vermicompost unit also functions in the vicinity. The unit also supports a mushroom cultivation unit which also offers hands on training to the in-house and outside students. Maximum plant waste utilization for organic composting is made available by this initiative. Nakshatra Vana, the mythological garden comprising of 27 species of trees, each representing a zodiac star in Indian philosophy are planted to create a healthy and sound physical, mental, psychological, and spiritual being.
