●
Perhaps, I was not aware of the importance of environment at that time. 
●
Moreover, as it was a new subject, our teachers also didn’t take much interest in
teaching us in a way that ignited our interest. 
●
However, now I realise that the environment is deteriorating very fast and we all
need to put in our bit to prevent further damage as far as possible. 
●
Many programs on TV stress the importance of our environment. 
●
Once I was watching Ted Talks India - Nayi Soch, a show hosted by the king of 
Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan, in which he calls different people to talk about
various things. One such person he called was Shubhendu Sharma, who talked 
about the method of growing a tiny forest of 300 trees in a small area. 
●
Ever since that time I got interested in the environment. 
●
Governments around the world are taking steps to save the environment. 
●
But what most people fail to see is that their small steps at individual level can
also cumulatively lead to massive results. 
●
For example, if every person planted a tree and nurtured it for the first few 
months, in a few years we would have more than a hundred crore fully grown
trees.
●
If each one of us started saying no to plastics, it would make a huge difference. 
●
So, EVS was the subject I didn’t like at school, but like now. 
Part 3 Follow Up Questions 
1.
What is your opinion of modern education (in schools)? 
I think that modern day education has changed for the better. The schools today have smart
classes and technology has been incorporated really well in the classroom. Also, the focus
now is also shifting from an exam-based approach to a more learner friendly approach that
leads to a better understanding of concepts and various subjects. 
2. What school subjects do you think are most important (in primary school or high school)?
Why are they important?
I think that all the subjects currently a part of school curriculums are essential for the holistic
development of a child. These subjects range from sciences, languages, literature, history,
social science, moral science, etc.
3. What subject or subjects do you think will be the most important in the future?
