GREEN Olympiad: A Case Study to Augment Learning through Non-formal Education

With an increase in human aspirations and urbanization, development is happening at a largely unsustainable pace. Hope still resides in the power of education to offset unsustainable actions by promoting Environmentally Responsible Behaviour (ERB) amongst our younger citizenry. ERB can put knowledge into practice, thereby ensuring sustainable environments, healthy communities, and social cohesion. Through programmes like GREEN Olympiad, students are sensitized to enhance their knowledge levels and pave the way to become environment-conscious citizens. The programme converges with the deliverables of National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 in India and draws its linkages to SDG 4.7.
