Abstract
The understanding of Environmental Challenges and their root causes has evolved
and sharpened with progress of time. Internationally Environmental thinkers and Educators had
long back understood the inextricable relationship between environment and Development.
Internationally American chemical Society ACS and Institute of Green Chemistry IGS are
contributing considerably by offering UG courses and Projects for the progress of Green
Chemistry and sustainable development .Most of the developed countries also started offering
UG courses in Green chemistry and Environmental sciences. In India at least a short term course
in Green chemistry is necessary for science undergraduates and teachers.
In the present study the overall awareness results of Green chemistry and Green Business were
investigated among undergraduate Science and Commerce students respectively of Bangalore
city. Some good Colleges were selected under different categories. The awareness was monitored
through the questionnaires. The results were analyzed .For a better awareness and understanding
of Green Chemistry a short term course curriculum design has been purposed. Further more for a
better awareness and understanding of environmental sciences few topics for the curriculum have
been suggested.
