        Environmental Education, Awareness and Training play a significant role to protect the Environment. We encourage and enhance the people’s participation in activities aimed at conservation. The environment protection is essential for achieving sustainable development. Eco club is one of the important active clubs in our institution. To create an environment friendly generation is the need of the hour, because the present generation lives in an artificial world created by man. It is necessary to sensitize them towards nature.

     The extent of human impact on the Earth has reached dangerous levels today, which threatens long-term survival, progress and growth of the human civilization. There is an urgent need to protect the planet from degradation by adopting principles of sustainable development, consumption and production. Managing the natural resources and taking immediate action on climate change, we are able to support the needs of both present and future generations. Climate change is no longer a future threat. We have already experienced the consequences of rising carbon dioxide concentrations, higher global temperatures and erratic weather pattern across the globe. Therefore, it is the need of the hour to think globally and act locally.

The Eco Club has been working towards creating environmental awareness at the very grass root level. It consistently works to equip the younger generation to deal with environmental concerns through more effective environmental education and practicing them. The eco-club spreads knowledge about the environment and promotes a holistic approach towards living with the natural world, in order to minimize the environmental problems faced by the human beings today. It understands the central role of youth in saving the environment and encourages the students towards adopting eco-friendly practices, recycling different materials and saving the resources such as water, electricity etc.

The Eco Club also works with other stakeholders in order to achieve a common goal with different approaches. This truly helps in building consciousness for a developed and prosperous nation, where economic development and environmental growth function together.
