But, the rich diversity of wild animals and birds wandering in the campus of Digboi college is unparalleled. Further, there are several rare species of wildlife has been witnessed here
Digboi college campus is an excellent place for biology students or researchers to study life science, because it is under the Indo Burma Hotspot. To maintain this diversity the Institution carries out animal safety and rescue operation in the vicinity of the campus as well as nearby districts.
Although, the college has a green campus with flora and fauna diversity, however there is a scope for further expansion in various fields. For continuous improvement and management, proper strategies are to be taken in future and implementation of the action plans are needed. More installation of solar panels and lights, less use of lights by constructing well lighted rooms, introduction of e-office and e- programme practices, total restriction of automobiles inside the campus with construction of parking area outside the campus are some measures to develop more Eco friendly environment. The ravishing beauty of the college campus and availability of various bird species of astethical importance attracts many tourists to the college including the foreigners.
