As part of its community engagement initiatives, Christ College Puliyanmala has adopted the Paliyakudi tribal village, situated 5 km from the campus and identified as a marginalized community. The institution's faculty and students are actively involved in implementing long-term developmental strategies aimed at ensuring the sustained upliftment and overall advancement of the Paliya tribe.
The initiative is unique because it is led entirely by students, who play an active role in working with the community. The programme focuses on helping and supporting the tribal families through regular visits and activities. Students try to understand the needs of the people and offer learning support to children and adults. They also conduct small awareness sessions, games, and cultural interactions to build trust and friendship. By spending time in the village, students create strong bonds with the tribal community. The main aim is to educate, support, and develop long-term relationships that can bring positive changes to the village.
Christ college Puliyanmala undertakes student-centric agricultural activities on the college campus to promote experimental learning and sustainable practices. These initiatives integrate academic knowledge with practical exposure, fostering environmental awareness, social responsibility and respect for agriculture. The programme also enhances student's life skills, teamwork and commitment to sustainable development.
The practice of agriculture on the college campus involves systematic planning, cultivation and maintenance with active students, faculty and participation. Students engage in land preparation, sowing, irrigation, organic manure application, and harvesting under faculty guidance. Emphasis is given to sustainable eco-friendly farming methods, enabling students to gain hands-on experience, practical skills and understanding of agriculture cycle while fostering responsibility, teamwork and environmental leadership. The produce is sold to students and general public at nominal prices, and providing real-time exposure to marketing, pricing, and entrepreneurship.
