From Awareness to Action: Pro-Environmental Behaviour among College Students in Dhemaji District, Assam, India

The study examined the environmental awareness and pro-environmental behaviour of college students in Dhemaji District, Assam. A descriptive survey method was adopted, and data were collected from 150 undergraduate students through standardized questionnaires. The findings revealed that most students possessed moderate environmental awareness and average pro-environmental behaviour. No significant differences were found in pro-environmental behaviour with respect to gender and stream. Further, no significant relationship was observed between environmental awareness and pro-environmental behaviour. The study highlights that awareness alone may not lead to responsible environmental actions and emphasizes the need for practical environmental education programmes to promote sustainable behaviour among students.
