Higher Education, University of Delhi, Delhi - 110007 for mutual cooperation witnesseth
in the following lines :
1. Indian Institute of Ecology and Environment, New Delhi has the appropriate
technology for the transfer of knowledge in the areas of ecology and environment in
general and environmental engineering, impact assessment, pollution monitoring and control,
systems analysis, wildlife conservation, environmental education and environmental laws in
particular. 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 whenever needed.
c) to help prepare and revise Programmes on environment and related subjects to be
initiated by the CPDHE.
d) to guide in preparation of project proposals to be funded by different International
Bodies and implemented either by the CPDHE or in association with Indian Institute of
Ecology & Environment, New Delhi.
e) to have programmes, seminars, workshops etc. jointly organised by DU and IIEE for
protecting our environment at mutually decided locations.
f) to allow the alumnis of the University of Delhi to pursue the inter disciplinary
studies and research programmes at IIEE by providing them institutional facilities on a

b) to help IIEE in the curriculum design or in updating the existing curriculum in the
emerging fields.
c) to implement the Environment friendly projects with the help of local administration,
industrialists, students and the faculty on mutually agreed guidelines. This will help in
having a thicker relationship with the State/Central Government as well as the Industrialists
for having a better industry-academics interaction for the vocationalisation of environmental
careers.
d) to provide wherever feasible local hospitality to the policy makers and faculty members
invited from different universities all over the world on a reciprocal basis.
