Abstract

There is no dearth of governmental and non-governmental organisations working for environment in India; but the aims, objectives and diversity in the manner of functioning could place before us the challenge of a lifetime. As scientists, workers and educators in India, we have the opportunity and the responsibility to discover, learn, understand, expand and utilise this complex resource situation, collaborating with like minded individuals and organisations to work and achieve common goals to protect the environment.

The way we focus today for education on the environment will have long term effects on the future quality of life. Effective and meaningful environmental education is a challenge we must take seriously if future generations are to enjoy the benefits of our natural heritage.

This paper identifies some of the current and future challenges that face environmental education in the Indian scenario and offers suggestions on how best they can be addressed.
