Environment protection will be given emphasis in the education of school students, Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty has said.
The Minister was inaugurating on Sunday the district-level activities planned under the 'Pachathuruthu' (Green Islet) project by the Haritha Keralam Mission as part of the Environment Day celebrations. The event was among a slew of programmes held in the capital city on Sunday to mark the occasion.
Mr. Sivankutty said that content aimed at sensitising students on the importance of environment protection would be included in the text books.
