VasudhaivKutumbakam which is close to the Infirmary and front of Cycle Stand, is entrusted to Philosopher’s Living Group named Noble Knights under the leadership of Schs. Vigash Lawrence SJ and Anish Raj SJ and under the guidance of Frs. Ilanko SJ and SathyaBalan SJ. The brothers have planted some Mango and Karaj saplings and are caring for them.

The unique of this plot is the “Healthy 8 Walk” which fascinates many to walk on it. It is prepared by Fr. Ilanko and Sch. Anish Raj. The “Healthy 8 Walk” is situated North-South direction and is ten feet long and 6 feet wide. It also has two herbal plants and small gravels to give sufficient healing. However the technique is already introduced by Siddhas in India, it continues to make its presence in various parts of the world in different forms.
