Indian Institute of Ecology and Environment (IIEE) wishes to present all its publications, research findings and the occasional monographs free of charge for the proper awareness of environmental education movement in India. The motivation for bringing awareness specially among the educational organisations has been based on the issues of environmental education discussed in the deliberations at Founes in 1971 and later at Stockholm in 1972 followed by the workshop on Environmental Education at Belgrade in 1975 and then an Inter Governmental Conference on the subject at Tbilisi in 1977 organised by United Nations Environment programme (UNEP) and UNESCO. The former resulted in what is known as the Belgrade Charter and from the latter issued specific recommendations on the role of Universities in the propagation of environmental education. Hence the role of IIEE through this MoU will be:

a) to present all the occasional monographs free of charge.
b) to present all the research reports.
c) to help prepare and revise Graduate, Master's and Doctoral courses on environment and 
related subjects.
d) to guide in preparation of project proposals to be funded by different Ministries and 
other Bodies.
e) to have programmes, seminars, workshops etc. jointly organised for protecting our 
environment.
f) to allow the alumnis of the collaborating organisation  to pursue the study or research 
programmes.

2. Avinashilingam Institute for Home Science and Higher Education for Women will agree 
with this MoU and in return cooperate with IIEE in the following ways :
a) to present the publication, information and knowledge for mutual exchange of ideas 
in the areas of ecology and environment for its use by the students, faculty and others.
b) to help IIEE in the curriculum design or in updating the existing curriculum in the emerging fields..
c) to allow and register the Post Graduates of IIEE for pursuing Doctoral programmes 
(M.Phil/Ph.D.) with supervisors and guides from both bodies having the residency requirements 
to be mutually decided. This will help the alumnis of IIEE to conduct and continue research 
for the protection of environment in the neighbouring areas.
e) to implement the Greening programme in the concerned States with the help of local 
administration, industrialists, students and the faculty on the guidelines suggested by IIEE. 
This will help in having a thicker relationship with the State Government as well as the 
Industrialists for having a better industry-academics interaction for the absorption of the 
younger generation.

In testimony whereof, the parties to this MoU have hereinto set and subscribed their 
hands for the continuance of this Memorandum of Understanding ( MoU).
