Impact of Environmental Education On College Students In Supaul Block (Supaul District), Bihar, India: An Assessment

All of the physical elements of the planet, including the air, water, and land, which nourish and mould life in the biosphere, are collectively referred to as the environment. Learning about and understanding environmental issues such as pollution, overpopulation, deforestation, ecological disturbance, and energy scarcity, as well as its consequences is known as environmental education. To study Environmental awareness and the use of related practices the major objectives have been formulated such as to assess the Environmental awareness related to different environmental problems among college students, to evaluate the level of environmental awareness about gender and locality, and to identify the factors affecting environmental awareness of college students. This study investigates the attitudes of urban and rural students towards their educational experiences. This research is based on a primary database with a stratified random sampling method of nearly 595 samples. Microsoft Office suite, SPSS, and QGIS play a vital role in map making and statistical calculation. After the Z test, it is observed that 1.09 indicates that there is no discernible difference between pupils who are male and female and 3.11 indicates that there is a discernible difference between pupils who are rural and urban students in 0.01 level of significance. The results are the result of inadequate facilities, interest, and knowledge. Students in rural areas lack awareness of the environment, but students in metropolitan areas have access to resources, information, and enthusiasm. Thus, the pupils in both areas are where the differences exist.
