The investigator has selected all govt. aided Higher Secondary Schools and provincialised colleges of Sivasagar district of Assam both from Arts and Science streams and from rural and urban areas.

The data were collected with the help of an Environmental Education Attitude Scale for students which was developed by the investigator having the reliability 0.86. The collected data were analysed and interpreted by using statistical techniques like frequency percentage and Chi-Square test. Graphical representation of data also made. The findings of the study might be helpful for the teachers, educators and policy makers etc. to take necessary steps.
