Opportunities for learning exist everywhere. The Joy of Learning series of three handbooks is an attempt at showing some ways in which these opportunities can be made use of. They are in no way a complete curriculum, nor do they cover all the different aspects that need to be dealt with at different levels in our education system. Each activity gives students an experience of a small part of the environment. But these small pieces of experience build into a larger mosaic of understanding. We hope they will provide a framework and approach that teachers can then use to develop a number of activities based on their own local environment and opportunities.  (Adapted from the Preface by Kartikeya V Sarabhai, to Joy of Learning I, Handbook of Environmental Education Activities (For junior school children), developed by Centre for Environment Education and Vikram A. Sarabhai Community Science Centre in collaboration with VIKSAT and Darpana Academy of Performing Arts for the National Council of Educational Research & Training (NCERT) in 1986) (See full preface which has useful insights into the nature of Environment Education)
