A Report on “World Environment Day Celebration’’

It is imperative that we safeguard the health of our planet at this critical juncture and understand the importance of keeping our planet clean.

        Hence , to encourage awareness and action to protect our environment, an innovative concept was adopted by the department to bring in awareness among all the students  from all the streams  by administering oaths in their respective classes.

                            Declaration of Oath

“We, the Staff and Students of St. Philomena’s Institutions, pledge to practice everything in our power to protect, preserve, and enhance the beauty and glory of nature. We understand that we are responsible for sustaining the only liveable planet “Mother Earth” and save it as a gift to the future generation
