The peacock was made out of waste materials such as plastic bottles and old newspapers, which promotes the idea of recycle and reuse of plastic, a non-biodegradable material, which helps in protecting our environment. Complementing the installation art was a tri-coloured rangoli made using environment-friendly colours that signified the patriotic essence of the day.

Both the art work and therangoli was a joint effort of the club members andwas supported by the director of SOC Dr.NandiniLakshmikantha, the faculty co-ordinator Dr.UnniKrishnan K and other faculty members of the institution.
