A small kitchen garden that was started in 2005 in Nilgiri Bhavan has now expanded to over 30 trees across campus right from Nilgiri Bhavan, Vindhya Bhavan to the boys’ and girls’ hostels. Primarily consisting of banana plantations, the trees have borne fruits since 2006 and are enthusiastically shared with the mess, faculty, staff, housekeeping, security and gardners. Sustained with RO waste water, the plants bear rich dividends of approximately 8 dozen bananas a month under the able care of Mr. S L N Sastry. This project was the brainchild of Prof. Venkayya, former admin officer Mr. Sathyanarayana, Mr. K C M Sastry and Mr. V V Ramana.
