Lawn and Garden(LG)
NIT Rourkela is situated at the foothill of a mineral rich region and its rocky soil makes the task of a planned
green garden the challenging one. To execute this task in the best possible manner,Lawn and Garden committee was
constituted in 2003. This committee looks after and maintains the vegetation and flora of the institute campus.
The end-work is executed by the workers under various contractors, who in turn are selected through tendering processes.
With the consistent effort of the administration and the L&G committees, the NIT campus is administered as one of the
best lawn and garden in the city.
Lawn and garden committee performs following activities.
- Maintenance of vegetation and prevention from unnecessary cutting.
- Monitoring and administrating the tree plantation and their growth.
- Trimming of precarious/unsafe branches and trees.
- Maintaining the cleanliness of roads, lawns, playgrounds, etc.
- Organizing plantation drives to make the campus green.
