Recently to strengthen the Green Chemistry Networking in India, GCNC organized INDO-US S&T Forum Workshop on Green Chemistry on 7-9 January at Delhi. A stepping stone in the endeavors of GCNC was the release of a monograph on Green Chemistry Experiments in this workshop. Green Chemistry Task Force created by Department of Science & Technology, Government of India for the furtherance of Green Chemistry Education & Research in India recently invited Coordinator of GCNC for preparing a Green Chemistry Experiment Manual. This manual will be recommended for all the University and Colleges of India for its inclusion in the existing curriculum. Green Chemistry Network Centre (GCNC) has been instrumental in getting Green Chemistry courses introduced at the Bachelor's level in University of Delhi. More interesting educational initiatives taken are in the form of value based short-term courses on Green Chemistry that incorporate laboratory experiments, case studies etc. contribute in the furtherance of the much needed science. This presentation will describe the overall educational and outreach activities of the centre.
