Abstract:
Environment education has always been of prime concern to sensitize young children towards ecological preservation and sustainable future. Eco-club is the largest programme in the country promoting environment conservation and protection among masses. This study aims to investigate the involvement of schools in selected eco-club activities based on the 60-point scoring list developed to rank them. 26 schools, selected from nine zones of the city formed part of the research. According to the findings of the study, most of the schools had about 50% participation in the listed eco-club activities. Planting trees and observing environmental days were the two most common activities opted by the educational institutions. School 1 from North Zone ranked highest with a score of 47 out of 60, however, the performance of West Zone was best owning to good participation from all schools in the zone.
