Think Green - An Overview
The “Think Green To Make A Difference Project” was initiated in March 2005 due to the growing requirement for expertise in the field of Environment Education.
This surge was a result of the introduction of Environment Science as a compulsory subject in the school circular from the academic year 2004 – 2005 as made mandatory by the Supreme Court on 18th December 2003.
About Think Green
Our ‘Think Green’ programme aims to increase sensitivity and awareness towards our environment by encouraging teachers and students of all ages to learn about nature. It propagates ‘Green thinking’ amongst the masses.
It is very essential to know more about your surroundings, environment and the city which you live in.
The team has devised innovative and fun non-formal methods of teaching to make students understand the fundamentals of their environment. Apart from student interactions, interactive Teacher Training Workshops (TTWs) are organized to help teachers inculcate environmental values in students. The programmes will help promote a better understanding of our environment.
According to the Constitution of India, it is our Fundamental Duty to “protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wild life, and to have compassion for living creatures”. But before we act, we must be armed with knowledge so that we may make an “Informed Decision”. Thus, the need to be AWARE is vital.
