The Fountain

The newly constructed fountain in the front lawn of the college adds to the beauty of the infrastructure. The well-maintained garden around it where each plant and tree has been named by the Botany department of the college itself. In the morning, the resplendent view of the fountain while entering the college simulates a view of sunrays falling on dew drops, a soothing and serene setting.
