He also tries to investigate the extent to which environmental activities are pursued in the curricular programmes of the schools. Qualitative method has been followed in the content analysis of geography text books of the classes VI to X for the issues related to sustainable environment. The content thus identified has been compared with desirable and standard ones . For quantitative exploration, six districts of West Bengal have been used to select 200 students of class X with cluster sampling method.
