Paryavaran Aayog is launching the Summer Eco-Warden certification course for university and school students to act as community level environmental watchdogs.

"Equipping the youth with legal and ecological tools is our most vital education drive. Trained Eco-Wardens are the eyes and ears of our foresters, safeguarding local environment norms."

Roles and Responsibilities

Trained Eco-Wardens will be equipped to identify micro-pollution sources, illegal industrial wastewater dumping, and educate communities on waste segregation, acting as a direct bridge to our vigilance officers.

This hands-on program helps youngsters build legal and practical ecological wisdom while collecting certifications that enhance their professional paths as environmental leaders.

Building Community Legal Literacy

A core focus of the program is legal literacy. Volunteers learn how to draft formal petitions, use our portal to submit photographic evidence of toxic leaks, and map illegal felling sites using basic open-source geospatial tools. This makes youth leaders highly autonomous and scientifically precise.
