Title: Role of Higher Education in Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development
Authors: N.R. Madhava Menon
Issue Date: 2017
Publisher: Journal on Environmental Law Policy and Development
Abstract: More than an inevitable ritual tolerated by the audience, convocation speeches nowadays mean very little to the graduates to whom they are addressed. Nevertheless, would like to make an attempt in my speech today to convey a message which you can forget only at your peril. It is about negotiating a future for you and your children which critically depends on steps taken today for the protection and improvement of human environment, often termed in public discourses as "Sustainable Development" Jagran Lakecity University by its very name and location conveys the idea of sustainable development. Water, air and forest are three natural resources which sustain life on Planet Earth and this University has its abode amidst the lakes,· the forest and fresh air, bounties of Mother Nature. And this unique natural environment compels the university community to explore ways and means to advance the culture of environmentalism in its educational programmes. I would, therefore, like you to consider on how this learning objective could get into · the process of curriculum development at all levels of higher education irrespective of the subject of study or the course being pursued in the university.
