Abstract:
In this era of depleting resources and deteriorating standards of life due to ever
increasing problems of pollution, poverty and illiteracy. Various problems related to
the earth like global warming, ozone layer depletion is now a household term. There is
an immediate need of environmental awareness. Unfortunately, there is a considerable
lack of awareness with interrelated nature of all human activities and the environment.
It is lack of awareness, low sense of civic responsibility, and growing tendency of
indifference and negligence, which is by some or the other way refraining to think
consciously well in advance. There is a need to increase public sensitivity towards
environmental problems and involvement in their solution and foster a sense of public
responsibility, greater motivation and commitment towards the environment. The
famous international conference on environmental education organized by UNESCO
and UNEP held in 1971 has provided incentive to numerous researches works in field
of research in environmental education.
