Post graduate student’s knowledge, awareness and attitude towards environment and climate change were quite high. They show high awareness about climate change issues, attitude about the polluters and its impacts on environment concern and human. At the same time they show low awareness towards climate change and natural disasters, low attitude towards forests, wild life, population explosion, health and hygiene related issues. Post graduate student’s awareness related to those issues was less compared to others areas. Many of the post graduate students don’t feel forest, wildlife and its conservation and preservation greater importance for life and maintenance of bio diversity.
