TERI provides current environmental information through their website called EduGreen.  Not only is there information about specific environment-related events throughout India, but students can research and learn about a wide range of issues facing the global community as well. 

TERI is an excellent starting point for research into environment and development issues that will encourage your students to consider the perspectives of the 'majority' world and specifically one of the globes most populous nations.  The environmental dictionary is an excellent source with a comprehensive list of environmental words, phrases and concepts that are clearly defined.  EduGreen also allows visitors to explore various topics on the following environmental issues:

Each section not only provides insights into sustainability issues on a global scale, but also highlights Indian-specific constraints and suggestions for conservation measures.  Various multimedia learning activities such as puzzles, quizzes, poems and stories that students can participate in are found here as well. 

EduGreen allows for the submission of environment-related questions, and there are plans for a live chat forum where students can meet to discuss relevant topics.
