Abstract :

The present study was conducted to study the Environmental Education (EE) inputs for secondary students (IX) in Hassan Taluk in the state of Karnataka. The sample consisted of 207 students from different schools [rural government, urban government and urban private schools. The percentage analysis was used to describe EE input. There was no much difference in status of EE in rural and urban schools. Rural students have only teachers as their chief motivator where as for urban students apart from their teacher’s parent’s friends and other also motivated to attend environment related programmes. There was no much difference in the EE by C.C.A. for urban and rural students but in certain activities like quiz, gardening, partition of urban students is more. About 30% more urban students use different TV channels like national geographic channel, discovery channel and cartoon shows and read more newspapers / periodicals and from these sources they got more environmental education compared to urban students.
