Paryavaran Mitra is a nationwide initiative to transform 2 crore students into Paryavran Mitra through participation in curricular and co-curricular activities and projects.
A Paryavaran Mitra student demonstrates environmental leadership qualities through positive change in behaviour and action at individual, school, family and community levels. Thus every Paryavaran Mitra student becomes a change agent for sustainability.
The first step towards achieving the goal is for the school to join the programme. The success of the programme rests upon the support and guidance of the principal/headmaster and active participation of all the teachers in taking up programme activities in the class, club and the whole school.
The Paryavaran Mitra programme synergizes several national level initiatives like the National Green Corps (NGC), Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan (SSA), National Environment Awareness Campaign (NEAC), and builds on partnerships at the national and international level.
