Eco Club

About the club

The Eco Club at Unity College was formally established on June 4th, 2016, with the launch of a tree plantation drive to commemorate World Environment Day. Since its inception, the club has been dedicated to raising awareness among students about pressing environmental issues and engaging them in efforts to foster a healthier planet.

At the heart of our mission is the desire to cultivate a sense of responsibility towards the environment and encourage active participation in environmental conservation. Through targeted programs and activities, we aim to nurture a community of environmentally conscious citizens committed to creating a cleaner and greener world.

Currently overseen by seven dedicated teacher in-charges, along with two student coordinators and a vibrant community of 50 active members, the Eco Club is a dynamic hub of eco-conscious initiatives and collaborative action.
