Green is the way to celebrate festivals in these days of climate emergency, but not everyone takes the effort for it.

The event was first of its kind within our campus supported by all students, teaching and non-teaching staff with great excitement. All the Rithu volunteers dressed up with green cap and Santa clause were also dressed up in green dress to motivate others keeping in mind to create awareness on to celebrate Christmas in eco-friendly manner with reduced usage of plastic.

The Green Christmas Carnival was inaugurated by honourable Director of the Institution Rev. Fr. Varghese Palatty who congratulated all the Club members for coming up with the creative idea to impart message for a social cause to the local community.

The Programme started with a flash mob led by Bhoomithrasena Members at college premises and later a Santa in green costume who was present at the function distributed a Christmas Card with a message on plastic–free celebration designed by club members to the Rev. Fr. Varghese Palatty, Director as a representation to contribute towards a green environment within the campus.

Thereafter the green carnival band lead by green Santa, and volunteers of the club visited the Cherthala KSRTC bus station and distributed the Christmas Card with the message of celebrating a Plastic-free Christmas and performed the flash mob. Later club Coordinator, Mr. Renju Chandran spoke to the local community present at the bus station regarding importance of plastic-free celebrations in our day-to-day life.
