Eco Club
Introduction
The overarching aim of education is the holistic development of children. The changes in the society like urbanization, technological advancement and effects of mass media has led to the need that schools should not only be for nurturing the cognitive development of its students but also for fostering their affective and psycho- motor abilities which would equip them for life.
Eco clubs will empower students to participate and take up meaningful environmental activities and projects. It is a forum through which students can reach out to influence, engage their parents and neighbourhood communities to promote sound environmental behavior. It will empower students to explore environmental concepts and actions beyond the confines of a syllabus or curriculum. While everyone, everywhere, asserts the importance of ‘learning to live sustainably,’ environment remains a peripheral issue in the formal schooling system.
