Abstract

Environmental literacy stands as a cornerstone in the realm of education, particularly in the context of fostering sustainable development within communities. This study endeavors to scrutinize the level of environmental literacy among postgraduate (PG) students in the vibrant state of Telangana, India. Recognizing the pivotal role of postgraduate education in shaping the minds of future leaders and influencers, the research delves into the depth of environmental awareness among this cohort. The methodological approach of this study involves the application of a meticulously designed structured survey to gather data. This survey serves as the primary instrument for gauging the environmental literacy of PG students, addressing aspects such as knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to environmental issues. The intention is to unravel not only the theoretical understanding possessed by the students but also to discern the practical application of this knowledge in real-world scenarios. Crucially, the research employs rigorous statistical analysis to illuminate the current state of environmental literacy among PG students in Telangana. By utilizing statistical tools, the study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the strengths and weaknesses in the existing educational system regarding environmental awareness. This analytical approach allows for the identification of specific areas that may necessitate attention, improvement, or innovation in educational programs and policy formulation. The findings of this study promise to offer valuable insights with potential implications for the trajectory of environmental education in Telangana. By unveiling the nuances of environmental literacy among PG students, the research aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on sustainable development and the role of education in shaping environmentally conscious citizens. The insights gleaned from this study may serve as a guide for educators, policymakers, and institutions in refining their strategies and approaches to enhance environmental literacy among the academic community. In essence, this study aspires to be a catalyst for positive change by illuminating the path toward a more environmentally literate and sustainable future for the postgraduate students of Telangana.
