ARANYAM-The Nature Club

The Aranyam forestry club began in our college in December 2001. This club was organized to impart environmental understanding to the students and the community. The mission of this club is to organize students for environmental work. So the forestry club was started in partnership with the Forestry Department of the Government of Kerala.
