The deep depression over the Comorin area has intensified into a cyclone. The cyclone intensified into a cyclonic storm causing heavy rainfall in the southern parts of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Torrential overnight rain, accompanied by squally winds, lashed this district, uprooting scores of
trees  on the particular day. The administration of Kanyakumari district has asked people not to venture out, even as educational institutions
remained closed. With concern about possible contamination , the management of RCET organized a disaster relief camp in Kanyakumari. The waters
marooned large parts of the district for several days and rescue efforts were hampered by the lack of electricity and mobile connectivity, but Rohini created multiple rescue camps across Kanyakumari. The students and faculties arranged purified drinking water and food for people all around the affected villages. The volunteers made new friends, formed teams and stayed on their feet. They formed teams to do real-time surveys of the affected
areas and they distributed food, picked up trashes. Going to college isn’t all about academics. Rather, the college experience helps shape a student’s
perspective about the community strengthens the sense of social responsibility, and this disaster enabled them to become well-educated social beings.
