Eco-Schools Programme India

We’re thrilled to launch Beyond the Classroom – Edition 1!

A special publication by the Eco-Schools India Programme, this edition celebrates the inspiring journeys of 13 schools across India that are turning classrooms into catalysts for environmental change.

From student-led waste audits to climate-ready campuses and community action — these stories show how education for sustainability goes far beyond textbooks. Each school featured proves that when young minds are empowered, they can reimagine what’s possible and lead the way toward a greener, fairer future.

Beyond the Classroom reminds us that every school has the power to spark change — one idea, one project, and one action at a time.

If you believe in empowering young changemakers and want your school to be part of this movement, reach out to us and join the Eco-Schools journey today!!

Together, let’s nurture the next generation of sustainability leaders.

CEE, in collaboration with Rashtriya Manavsangrahalay, Bhopal, successfully hosted a two-day camp and the Eco School India- Young Reporter for the Environment (YRE) India National Award 2025 ceremony on 29th and 30th October.

The event brought together young changemakers, educators, parents, and schools from across India. Over the two days, participants explored the museum's exhibits, indoor and outdoor exhibitions, tribal and ancient Indian settlements, and the technological park, 20000 year old cave paintings and learned how Indian ancient practices were sustainable and climate-resilient

We celebrated the work done by our young changemakers and educators by recognizing their efforts. Dr. Amitabh Pande, Director, Rashtriya Manavsangrahalay, felicitated the YRE Award 2025 to 21 winners and 32 runners up from across India and the Green Flag Award 2025 to 31 Eco-Schools India schools.
