 The Health and Safety Committee, in coordination with departments, centres and QAD, organised a fire evacuation drill in association with officials of authority of Civil Defence for the entire college campus to protect it from danger of fire whenever emergency arises. The drill was carried out on 17 June 2019 at 9am.

After a meeting with Civil Defence officials, exhaustive preparations were made. Awareness presentations on fire emergency were given to students and staff of all departments.

Fake smoke was created on the ground floor of the main building and it was communicated to Civil Defence authorities.

After the fire alarm, all staff and students in the building were evacuated systematically without any hindrance in a short period of time and assembled in the assembly point.

Civil Defence personnel reached the college campus with fire bridges within nine minutes of communication and extinguish the fire.

They also demonstrated emergency rescue operations with a volunteer who fainted in the ground floor of the main building and was taken to hospital.

Similar activities of fire evacuation were carried out in the Engineering Building.
