Abstract

In this present paper, we discussed about the environmental awareness and attitude of secondary school teachers. Today, man is living in the world of social, economic, political and value crises. In addition, during the recent years, environmental crisis has become another important factor, which has made everyone in the world to think of its gravity. This is due to the increasing population, urbanization, shrinking of agricultural land, desertification, deforestation, and technological advancement. Awareness and involvement of the entire society is a precondition for checking environmental degradation. We need to create environmental awareness among the people of country, specially of Bihar are traditionally very close to nature.
