the environment is better than
no effort”.
 INTRODUCTION

According to Douglas and Holland, ‘the term

environment' is utilised to describe, in the
aggregate, all the external factors, influences
and conditions which affect the life, nature,
behaviour, and the growth, development, and
maturity of living organisms.’
ENVIRONMENT

The environment plays a

vital role in the existence of
life on the planet Earth. The
environment is derived from
the French word “Environ”,
which means “surrounding”.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION

Environmental conservation can be

defined as the care taken to protect the
environment from being destroyed by
human and natural disasters.
ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION

It is defined as any change or disturbance to the

environment perceived as deleterious or
undesirable.
Environmental Awareness

It is an awareness of the natural

environment and the choices
that either promote its well-
being or cause it more harm.

including more districts to present students.
 In the present study, the sample was delimited to
Sikkim. However, can be extended to the other states
 The research study can be replicated in different
parts of the country with a large sample a various
age groups
 Similar studies can be conducted on secondary
school students from various districts
 The present study was delimited to the sample of
two streams (Arts and Science). However, it can be
extended to various streams also.
