It organizes different activities like street plays, exhibitions, intra- department competitions etc. The Club Creative Heights was set up this year alongwith a Certificate course on Beauty Care.

The Department regularly organizes talks, visits, paper presentations, workshops and seminars for the students. Counseling and parent teacher meets are also a regular feature. Besides, the girls are taken for studies, surveys and excursions to villages and other places. Stress is given on the employability of the students through talks on entrepreneurship.
