Promoting Food crop biodiversity Wet land farming – Thottara Puncha It led the paddy farming activity in the college owned farm at Arayankavu, which has led to the revival of organic paddy cultivation in Thottara Puncha. 3.5 acres were cleared and almost 400 students took turns in clearing, sowing, planting and weeding the farm. The species that is being cultivated is IR5 rice variety. The process is also part of learning for the students.  During this year 2.5 tons of rice were produced. Upland farming -  A plot of 10 cents on the campus was cultivated during the rainy season with active support from NSS volunteers and the members of Agriculture club. One cent farming The College has initiated a novel agriculture practice, ONE CENT FARMING; in which the students are encouraged to cultivate various vegetable crops in a limited space. Two such models were developed on the terrace and two of them were installed adjacent to the college ground.  The once cent plot contains several vegetable crops such as tubers (Tapioca, sweet potato, dioscorea, colocasia, amorphophalus etc.) leafy vegetables (Chuvanna cheera, pacha cheera, sambar cheera, velicheera, agaththicheera, marakkeera, vallicheera, chayamansa),  gourds (cumber, bitter gourd, snake gourd, ash gourd etc.), other vegetables like ladies finger, brinjal, chilly varieties, coriander leaves, mint, tomato, citrus, ivy guard,  etc. One plot was dedicated to ‘pulses’ and it contains five varieties of pulses (amara, tuvara, kuttipayar, french beans, meter payar). The pulses yielded  almost a quintal. It had a fence of ‘tuvar’ dal. The pulses plot was executed with the active support of Dr. Fr. Joseph & Fr. Sabu of English department. Total yield of pulses was more than 100 kg during last year. Terrace farming The college has two terrace farming models in which vegetable varieties and tuber varieties are cultivated. Mushroom Cultivation : The college has a small mushroom cultivation unit run by Botany students. Centre for Organic Farming, Bio-diversity and Ornithology- Arayankavu
