Research interests
My interests lie primarily in
developing environmental education material for school children,
namely booklets, posters, field guides and nature games. At present
I am involved in developing a series of Environmental Education
Activity books titled "Our World" for standards I to VIII, which
will be prescribed for all state govt. schools in Andhra Pradesh
under the A.P. National Green Corps programme . I also give hands-on
training to students through talks, field trips and nature games.
