We also provided a health awareness class  toanganavadis in Kallekad , EdatharaGUP School and Kallekad UP school as a part of Gandhi jayanti celebration.  We also took initiative to clean the Parali health centre.

For doing such activities we faced a lot of challenges. First we don't get the support of people for doing the above activities .Many of them were unwilling to participate. It was a great problem for us to implement the above activities. we  also not get the permission properly from the concerned schools and authorities. since our college faced the above challenges , even though we overcome those challenges and do many social activities with the support of local environment.
