BEST PRACTICES @ RSET

Eco-friendly Campus

The lush green award-winning campus of RSET provides the ideal backdrop for the scholarly and extracurricular pursuits of the academia. Though nestled right in the middle of the burgeoning industrial belt of Kochi city, the campus has actively upheld the Go Green policy in word and deed right from the beginning. The NSS and Nature Club volunteers join hands with the gardeners in planting new trees and promoting efficient waste management processes. These student units are also involved in conducting awareness programmes on eco-friendly practices.
The Energy Conservation and ENCON Club works on promoting energy conservation practices, and carrying out energy auditing at regular intervals. RSET has also taken steps in this regard, including replacing CRT monitors with LED monitors so as to minimize energy consumption, and procuring and installing of energy efficient electrical systems throughout the institution and the campus.

NSS has always stood up to its strong spirit of serving people keeping in mind the policy of “Not Me But You”. The belief that we must live for others is being realized through the selfless service of the NSS volunteers who get into timely action for the uplift of the needy people of their respective localities.
The NSS unit of RSET gives the volunteers a platform to serve society and bring happiness and smiles on many faces, which has sown the seeds of social commitment in many students who are otherwise kept aloof from the real challenges and torments faced by the masses. NSS by its range of community service initiatives has triggered a change in the personality and attitude of the volunteers. So it is not simply an association; it’s a platform to discover and realize the potential of every individual enrolled in the scheme.
The 120 member team of committed NSS Volunteers, with a programme officer of RSET, functioning under the NSS Technical Cell of the Directorate of Technical Education, Kerala has brought about significant changes in society. The services rendered by NSS are varied in nature: Health, Education, Legal Aid, Community and Physical services. Regular activities and Special Camping Programmes are the highlights of NSS activities of the college. Mass programme for Socio Economic Survey, Child line Biennale, Nature Study tour, General orientation and Special orientation programmes, Agriculture and Organic farming are other activities.
The NSS unit is an active group with numerous activities undertaken throughout the year.  The unit takes special initiatives through various camps to develop social commitment in the students, enabling them to recognize their responsibility towards society. Students are also encouraged to form a close relation with Nature.  NSS unit along with Nature Club promotes activities that help the students gain hands-on experience in innovative agricultural practices, including aquaponics.
