Courses based on Environment and Sustainability –
Environmental Science – The Environmental science class aims at helping students to understand the natural environment and its relationships with human activities and apply the fundamental knowledge of science and engineering to assess environmental and health risk. It will also help students to understand environmental laws and regulations to develop guidelines and procedures for health and safety issues and acquire the skill to solve scientific problem-solving related to air, water, noise & land pollution.
Biology for Engineers – Biology class has been introduced to the 3rd semester students of Engineering in order to emphasize on evolution of biology as a multi-disciplinary field and to make students aware of application of engineering principles in biology.
Electrical Energy Conservation & Auditing – Energy conservation is the decision and practice of using less energy without compromising quality of life. The use of energy efficient devices in all walks of lives and best practices renders lower greenhouse gas (GHG), lower pollution and most importantly energy security for us and future generations. Besides, there are other advantages too. Energy conservation saves coastal cities from disappearing underwater, improves water quality and protects reefs and other fragile ecosystems, improves air quality and reduce airborne allergens leading to a reduced risk of cardiovascular and respiratory issues.

Apart from the curriculum, OmDayal Group of Institutions also arrange Swachh Bharat Abhiyan Anti-plastic drive, Tree Plantation Drive etc. to save the endangered environment and beautify life.
Swachh Bharat Abhiyan Anti-plastic drive: On September 2, 2022, an anti-plastic campaign was spearheaded by the IQAC. Armed with placards containing meaningful slogans and information, and brooms, 15 student participants marched steadily outside the college campus, into a neighbouring area, consisting of several local shops and eateries, thereby, littered with a lot of organic and inorganic waste materials. Under the guidance and supervision of the teachers, some students stood on each side of the road with the placards, while others picked up their brooms, dusted the road and collected littered trash to dispose of them in dustbins, which were being carried by college staff. This not only helped students to convey a strong message of awareness and hope among the onlookers, but also generated a sense of team-building among them. It was an instance in which students received the opportunity to learn by ‘doing’.
Tree Plantation Drive: A tree plantation drive was organised on April 22, 2022, as a part of Earth Day Celebrations, during which students planted seeds in the college grounds.
