DMPQ: National Green Corps

: National Green Corps is a major initiative of MOEFCC for creating environmental awareness launched in 2001-02 which aims at building cadres of young children working towards environmental conservation and sustainable development .

 

It is operated through Eco-clubs set up in schools registered as members of  NGC, this programme exposes school children to in-depth field experiences, and provides opportunities to convert their ideas into creative action.

 

The programme has a cascading effect, seeks to redirect the consciousness of students towards environment friendly attitudes and actions and goes beyond schools, promoting school-society interactions to sensitize the society.Also in order to strengthen monitoring mechanism of NGC programme, MoEFCC is in process to establish Management Information system (MIS) which will open up vistas in sharing and accessing the information on NGC among all stakeholders. The MIS reporting and monitoring would be interactive and creative in ensuring NGC mobility and services.
