• Every day the climate is becoming hazardous due
  to the negligence of people towards nature and
  the perilous outcomes of traditional methods.
  Sustainable development will let the planet
  breathe and live peacefully forever. To spread
  the knowledge about sustainable practices among
  the younger generation, Mr Pradip Burman set up
  the World Environment School (WESc) in the hills
  of Coorg, Karnataka.
• World Environment School launched by Mr Pradip
  Burman, is Asias first green school spread over
  100 acres across the sensitive western ghats of
  Coorg. It is also the first school in South Asia
  that has taken a step ahead to encourage and
  deliver environmental education, with
  sustainability being the crux. The mission behind
  building this school is to inculcate strong
  ecological and moral values at a younger age and
  keep on spreading the importance to our future
  generations through the students of the school.
• World Environment School is set up with the
  support of Whitgift School, a prominent British
  Educational Institute and a part of Whitgift
  Foundation, a charity based in Croydon, South
  London, England. It will start functioning in
  2021 for students around the globe studying in
  grade 6 to 12. The school will board 950 people,
  out of which 550 will be students and the rest
  teaching and non-teaching staff. The school
  offers an international curriculum with
  affiliation from Cambridge Assessments and
  International Baccalaureate. international

• During the launch session of the World
  Environment School at the International
  Conference of Sustainability Education (ICSE)
  2019, Mr Pradip Burman said, The school will
  touch all the aspects of sustainability. We are
  also trying to make a special curriculum so that
  the students graduating from the school will be
  fully briefed about the sustainability issues and
  the consequences of not undertaking sustainable
  practices when they are grown up. It will turn
  the students into student leaders, making more
  leaders as they will pass on the knowledge to
  other students. They can also start movements
  which will force the people to protect the
  environment now rather than waiting till its
  destruction.
• World Environment School is an initiative through
  the Mobius Foundation, a Non-Profit Organization
  founded by Mr Pradip Burman that works towards
  environmental protection. The NGO entirely
  focuses on protecting the ecosystem by spreading
  awareness about the importance of adopting
  sustainable practices in our day to day life.
  They organise awareness programs that help
  encourage and educate the people to curb
  overpopulation, pollution and traditional methods
  harming the nourishment of the ecosystem.
• With this initiative, Mr Pradip Burman has opened
  gates to an environmental school in India without
  walls, a campus that ignites the natural
  curiosity of children.
