Infrastructure

Located at a prime location in western suburbs of Mumbai, KKCE is well connected to the main city and the suburbs. It is housed in a spacious, well ventilated building and has an ambient atmosphere conducive for learning. It is equipped with state of art infrastructure. Keeping in tune with our overall culture of sustainability and with support from UGC, we were the first B.Ed college to switch to solar power through our in-house Solar Power Generation Plant (2014). We added Groundwater Harvesting systems on our campus in the year 2019. Physical Facilities of the college include Method Rooms, Computer Lab, Language Lab, Psychology Lab, Lecture Halls, Ph.D room, Conference Room, Resource Rooms, a spacious Staff Room, Lunch Room, Common Room for Girls & Boys, Music Room, and facilities for indoor and outdoor games.
