Centre for Environment Education

by Soubhik Chakrabarti

Centre for Environment Education, CEE was created as a result of a unique partnership between government and a non-governmental institution in the year 1984 as recognition of the importance of environmental education in India's overall environment and development strategy. 

Today, CEE works for a wide range of sectors, target groups and geographical areas. CEE's primary objective is to improve public awareness and understanding of the environment with a view to promoting the conservation and sustainable use of nature and natural resources, leading to a better environment and a better quality of life. To this end, CEE develops innovative programmes and educational material, and builds capacity in the field of education for sustainable development. 

To test the validity and effectiveness of its programmes and material, CEE undertakes demonstration projects in education, communication and development that endorse attitudes, strategies and technologies which are environmentally sustainable. CEE is committed to ensuring that due recognition is given to the role of education in the promotion of sustainable development.
