  Social Impact

  Outreach has been a core mandate of the institution since its inception. Its voluntary effort at training teachers in imparting environment education in schools since its inception in 1994 has today resulted in the development of a special expertise that the institute is known for nationally. This has also resulted in the development of a separate department for outreach activities besides the regular activities of NSS.
