ECO CLUB

Environmental awareness has become an unavoidable reality in today’s globalised reality. It is through this the wrongs against nature can be measured. It is now the time to rethink our anthropocentric views on nature. For decades, educators around the world have accepted and acknowledged the potential of environment education to sensitize people towards corrective environmental practices.

The collective realization of imparting environment related education over the past few years has made it necessary to improve the concept of environment conservation all over the world. However, the efforts put in by individuals and other agencies are limited and infrequent. Recently a new trend has been observed in the development of environmental awareness among children. The underlying concept here is that the most important target group in public education is young people, and educational institute is the avenue to instill good practices in them (UNEP, 2014). It is believed that youths are more proactive and caring; hence, they can make a difference by influencing adults with their thoughts and actions. Education related to environment can strongly influence improvement in health, hygiene, demographic profile and productivity; practically all these factors are interlinked with the quality of life. It plays a major role in improving social opportunities for people and enhancing their quality of life by building capabilities, enhancing skill levels and providing more productive employment. This is the main purpose for educational institution like Shangpung College to come up with the idea of establishment of Eco Club.

Shangpung College Eco Club is an institutionally inspired voluntary club which promotes participation of students and teachers in knowing and improving our environment. The Club has been set up with the purpose to create mass awareness and to incorporate as much people as possible for understanding our environment better. Moreover, Eco Club allows the students and the teachers to come out of the classroom specificity and notice the world more closely. 

Shangpung College Eco Club aims at conservation, protection and management of the environment, essential for achieving sustainable living and development. Eco Club ensures that it is the time to look closely at nature for greener and safer tomorrow.
