    Dear Jayalakshmi,

    a great concern is raised by you which is appreciable and requirement of the time for every platform to put forward such issues for mass awareness that is why Environmental Education was introduced....

    Right to Constitutional remedies & Environment could be traced down by Article 32 & Article 226 of the Constitution of India. 

    Article 32 is one of the Fundamental Rights - known as "right to constitutional remedies" for the enforcement of the fundamental rights by Honorable Supreme Court of India. Similarly, Article 226 by Honorable High Court of respective state.

    Under PIL Courts possess wide powers to grant relief and prevent any activity endangering humans and damaging the environment. PIL can be brought by any public-spirited person, who may not be aggrieved persons, for a common cause or against any activity or conduct which adversely affects the public at large or group of persons.

    The Courts while granting relief to the aggrieved and checking activities injurious to environment have issued orders, directions and writs from time to time.

    In one of the PIL [M. C. Mehta v. Union of India (1992) 1 SCC 358], The Supreme Court recognized that keeping the citizens informed as a social obligation of the Government, particularly about the environment free of cost and ordered that environmental education be introduced compulsorily at all the levels of education; and there should be mass awareness and education programmes through mass media like Radio, T.V. etc. Such orders were issued under Article 32 of the Constitution of India.

    It was through this PIL, Honorable issued the directions to the Central Government to fulfill the obligation of environmental education as mandatory subject in schools and colleges.
