Background:
As per the Supreme Court’s order (November 22, 1991) and directive (December 18, 2003), study of the environment has been made a compulsory component of the curriculum in all educational agencies in the country. National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) also prepared a syllabus for all classes from 11 to 12, on environment education, in line with the Constitution of India.
The gap however still remains to be filled, as far as, environment education is concerned. Environment remains a peripheral issue in the formal schooling system and continues to be viewed more as an extracurricular activity and less as a subject with a priority position in the national curriculum.

- To introduce the multidisciplinary approach to environment education

- To integrate environment in daily classroom teaching
Target Audience:
