This study examines the relationship between environmental awareness and awareness of social duty among higher secondary students, and how certain educational factors affect these levels of awareness. The researcher administered surveys to 608 students to measure their environmental awareness and awareness of social duty. Statistical analysis found a positive relationship between the two awareness levels. Specifically, awareness of social duty accounted for 35.3% of students' environmental awareness scores. Certain educational factors like grade level, field of study, type of school, and parents' education level accounted for 41% of students' environmental awareness when considered alongside their social duty awareness scores. The study aims to predict environmental awareness based on social duty awareness and these educational characteristics.

Novel Methods of Plastic Wastes Management among Students of Secondary School...Premier Publishers
Plastic wastes contribute significantly to the volume of wastes generated in secondary schools. This study aims at providing student-oriented methods of managing plastic wastes. Using a quasi- experimental study design, a 3-stage random sampling technique was used to select two secondary schools: Oritamefa Baptist Model School (O.B.M.S) and Anglican Commercial Grammar School (A.C.G.S), from which 245 students were proportionately selected. A questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographic characteristics, waste management practices and knowledge on appropriate management methods of plastic wastes. Also, 10-item observational checklist was used for physical characterization of wastes generated in the schools over one-month period. Descriptive statistics and student paired t-test were used for data analysis at a 5% level of significance. The mean ages were 15.8±1.8 years and 14.1±1.0 years for A.C.G.S and O.B.M.S respectively. At baseline, A.C.G.S had a greater mean knowledge score (13.3 ± 3.4) than O.B.M.S (12.5± 5.5), though not significant. After the intervention, O.B.M.S had a significantly higher mean knowledge score (15.9± 5.1) than A.C.G.S (14.6± 4.3).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Abstract
In this study investigator has tried to measure the relation between environmental awareness and awareness towards
social duty among higher secondary students and some educational factors affecting it. Total 608 students were
selected from two different boards by using cluster random sampling technique. For collecting data the two tools
namely Paryavaran Jagrukta Prashnavali and Samajik Kartavya Jagrukata Prashnavali constructed by investigator
was used. Mean, SD, Karl Pearson’s product moment correlation, multiple correlations, regression and multiple
regressions had been used for analysis of data. Main findings of this study are that there is a positive (r = 0.594)
relationship between environmental awareness and awareness towards social duty of higher secondary school
students. About 35.3% of the environmental awareness scores of the students may be accounted by the awareness
towards social duty scores of the higher secondary students. About of 41.0% of environmental awareness scores
students may be explained by grade, course of study, type of institution, parent’s education and awareness towards
social duty scores of students.
Keywords: Environmental Awareness, Awareness towards Social Duty, Educational Factors.
1. Introduction
There is special importance of trees in the Indian culture. The healthy tradition of conservation of nature is
continuously under process from the ancient days through symbol of praying the trees in a different ways. Indian
women pray the different type of trees like banyan, mango, basil, pipaal and asoka with keeping fast. Asoka tree is
holy in the Indian culture. In Ramacharit Manas there is a famous statement ‘taru asoka mam karahu asokaa’ given
by Sita which clearly shows that the importance of the asoka tree. Its meaning is Oh! Tree asoka! Kindly remove my
all troubles.
But now days many activities done by human being like building construction, water exploitation, urbanization,
throughout the waste materials, smoke of mil factories make damage to environment in a large scale. Now days we
people are not thinking about the impact of these activities done by us against a natural environment. We simply
forgot about the prominent statement given by Mahatma Gandhi few decades ago, when environment was not a buzz
word is "The earth provides enough to satisfy everyman's need, but not every man's greed" stated by Khoshoo (1995
a). This is the statement with profound social, economic, cultural and ethical ramifications. The main reason behind
this environmental hazard is the unsustainable development by the human being.
1.1 Rationalization of the Study
Human being is not only dependent on the physical environment for livelihood, but also in a number of ways they
are capable of controlling and influencing the physical environment. Environmental degradation seriously threatens
economic and social progress even at the global level. Environmental degradation is often mentioned as the
consequence of human negligence on the one hand, but on the other hand it is more often than not is the intentional
individual or collective actions that has put economic gains as of utmost importance. Increasing craze for mega
cities and high tower buildings without considering the width of the roads and parking areas have been causing
further congestion and damages to the environment thereby degrading the environment much faster than economic
growth. As such, in the process of economic and infra-structural development, environment has not been given its
due respect and has often been sidelined which leads to further degradation of the environment. Environment and
economic growth are complimentary for developing countries and competitive for developed countries.

Hence environmental protection has become a continuous crisis of the nation. The complex growth of environmental
pressures due to the rapid population growth, mush rooming growth of industrialization and the unprecedented rate
of urbanization insists upon the urgent need to pursue economic development at any cost. As sustainable
development is the need of the hour, which is possible only by promoting awareness about the need to protect
environment the Government has taken several initiatives.
Here investigator is giving some researches related to environmental awareness and social duty which is given
below:
Moyer (1977) developed an unconstructive environmental attitude instrument to measure the environmental attitude
of the students. Gupta (1986) studied attitude of teachers towards environmental education and he found the
majority of teachers showed a favorable attitude towards environmental education. Shahnawaj (1990) studied
environmental awareness and environmental attitude of secondary and higher secondary school teachers and
students. A comparative study of attitude towards population education and environmental education and family
planning of different levels of workers in specific occupations was studied by Singh and Gulzar (1991). Saha (1997)
studied environment, social forestry and concluded that there is a need for the environmental education in Indian
context. Read and Pongracz (2000) studied public education and awareness rising in UK and concluded that several
techniques have been commonly used in Europe and North America to try to motivate residents to participate in all
form of waste management. Environmental awareness has been studied with respect to scientific attitude among
higher secondary students of Varanasi city (Bharti Anita, 2002). Singh (2005) studied the scientific phenomenon
between holistic education and environmental awareness. None of these nobody had tried to conduct the study
related to environmental awareness among higher secondary schools and some educational factors affecting it.
Sinha, Malti (1992), studied that to examine the role played by the education in social and occupational mobility
after independence. Major finding of this study were more than 80% of educated persons changed their caste-
profession and the shift in profession had always been upward. Fatima, Nusrat Jehan (1989), studied the relation
between various levels of education and social mobility among women in Bangalore city and concluded that
secondary education amongst women had a positive effect on their occupational mobility. Kalaimathi D. Hemalatha
and Kumaran D. (2006), studied development and validation of social skills rating scale (SSRS). Social skill implies
the selection and exhibition of behavior at appropriate times and in specific situations. Social skills of children were
assessed with the help of socio-metric techniques and socio-grams in the past. Singh (2005), conducted a study of
scientific phenomenon between holistic education and environmental awareness and concluded that environmental
Protection, strategies for sustainable development can do only by improving environmental awareness by holistic
approach in education. None of these nobody had tried to conduct the study to measure environmental awareness in
relation to awareness towards social duty among higher secondary schools and some educational factors (grade,
course of study, type of institution and parent’s education) affecting it.
Analyzing the above research studies some questions have appeared in the mind of investigator-
What is the relationship between environmental awareness and awareness towards social duty?
Up-to what extent, the environmental awareness may be predicted by some educational factors and
awareness towards social duty?
Investigator has effort to find answer of these above questions. On the basis of these relations investigator has tried
to given its main causes. Hence the problem "Environmental awareness in relation to awareness towards social duty
and some educational factors affecting it among higher secondary students" is worth studying and will go a long
way in solving many problems allied with social issues.

some educational factors among the higher secondary students.
1.6 Delimitations of the Study
Following are the delimitations of the present study
Population of the present study consists of higher secondary schools of Varanasi city.
The study has been conducted on 608 students only.
All the institutions which have been selected into this study are recognized by C.B.S.E. & U.P. Board of
higher secondary school.
2. Method of the Study
Descriptive survey method has been used as a method study.
2.1 Population of the Study
All the students belong to C.B.S.E. and U.P. Board of Varanasi city was taken as a population.
2.2 Sample and Sampling Technique
A sample is any group drawn from a population. A sample is a small proportion of a population that is selected for
observation and analysis (Best and Kahn, 2008, P.13). In the present study, a random sampling technique was used
to select the sample. The sample consisted of total 608 students. The variable-wise distributions of the sample are
presented in the table 1.
2.3 Tool
The tools used in the present study were Paryavaran Jagrukata Prashnavali and Samajik Kartavya Jagrukata
Prashnavali which was developed by the investigator himself. Paryavaran Jagrukata Prashnavali contains total 37
items including 13 positively & 24 negatively worded were used. By Split-Half Method reliability of this tool is 0.76
and by K-R Method is 0.72 and validity is 0.69. Samajik Kartavya Jagrukata Prashnavali contains total 43 items
including 22 positively & 21 negatively worded were used. By Split-Half Method reliability of this tool is 0.84 and
by K-R Method is 0.82 and content validity was measured.
2.4 Data Collection and Statistical Strategy
By direct administration of the test data were collected from the students of above four colleges by investigator. The
obtained data were analyzed using mean, SD, Karl Pearson’s product moment correlation, multiple correlations,
regression and multiple regressions.
3. Analysis and Discussion
The data have been analyzed by SPSS Package (PASW Statistics Processor 17 th version) and interpretation of data is
given below. The mean score of environmental awareness of sample was found to be 25.34, which indicates average
level of environmental awareness. 49.80% of the total students’ scored below average and 50.20% of the total
students’ scored above average (see in figure 1). The mean score of awareness towards social duty of sample was
56

Vol 2, No 3
found to be 32.20, which indicates high level of awareness towards social duty. 45.43% of the total students’ scored
below average and 54.57% of the total students’ scored above average.
3.1 Effect of Awareness towards Social Duty on Environmental awareness
Correlation and regression analysis was performed to assess the combined effect of independent variable
awareness towards social duty on the dependent variable i.e. environmental awareness. The results are described in
the tables 2.
The correlation coefficient of dependent variable environmental awareness with independent variables i.e.
awareness towards social duty is 0.594 which is significant at 0.05 level of significance.
The analysis of regression (in the table 3) indicates that independent variable i.e. awareness towards social duty in
least square sense in the regression equation do in fact account for 35.3% (r = 0.594, r² = 0.353) of dependent or
predicted variable i.e. environmental awareness. It is significant at 0.05 level of significance. Therefore the null
hypothesis that is there is no relationship between dependent variable environmental awareness and independent
variables i.e. awareness towards social duty is rejected at 0.05 level of significance.
The value of 0.353 of r square i.e. r² in the table indicates that 35.3% of dependent variable i.e. environmental
awareness may be elucidated by the independent variables i.e. awareness towards social duty. Therefore remaining
64.7% may be attributing to others variables.
The regression equation to predict environmental awareness is given by the equation in the form:
Y = 8.508 + 0.523X
Where,
Y = Predicted Value of Environmental awareness
X = Awareness towards Social Duty
3.2 Effect of Awareness towards Social Duty and Educational Variables on Environmental awareness
Correlation and regression analysis was performed to assess the combined effect of independent variables
like awareness towards social duty, grade, course of study, type of institution and parent’s education on the
dependent variable i.e. environmental awareness. The results are described in the tables 4.
The multiple correlation coefficient of dependent variable environmental awareness with independent variables i.e.
awareness towards social duty, grade, course of study, type of institution and parent’s education 0.640 which is
significant at 0.05 level of significance.
The analysis of multiple regression (in the tables 5) indicates that five independent variables X1, X2, X3, X4, and X5
combined in least square sense in the multiple equation do in fact account for 41.0% (R = 0.640, R² = 41.0) of
dependent or predicted variable i.e. environmental awareness. It is significant at 0.05 level of significance. Therefore
the null hypothesis that is there is no relationship between environmental awareness and independent variables i.e.
awareness towards social duty, grade, course of study, type of institution and parent’s education is rejected at 0.05
level of significance.
The value of 41.0 of multiple R square i.e. R² in the table indicates that 41.0% of dependent variable i.e.
environmental awareness may be elucidated by the independent variables i.e. awareness towards social duty, grade,
course of study, type of institution and parent’s education. Therefore remaining 59.0% may be attributing to others
variables.
The scores of environmental awareness of students may be predicted by the regression equation given below:
Y = 9.138 + 0.478X1 + 0.070X2 + 2.033X3 – 1.311X4 – 0.112X5
Where,
Y = Predicted Value of Environmental Awareness Score
X1 = Awareness towards Social Duty
X2 = Grade
X3 = Course of Study

3.3 Findings and Conclusion of the Study
On the basis of the above findings, it may be concluded that there is a positive (r = 0.594) relationship between
environmental awareness and awareness towards social duty of higher secondary school students. This means that
students with better awareness towards social duty are more aware towards environmental awareness and vice-versa.
About 35.3% of the environmental awareness scores of the students may be accounted by the awareness towards
social duty scores of the higher secondary students.
About of 41.0% of environmental awareness scores students may be explained by grade, course of study, type of
institution, parent’s education and awareness towards social duty scores of students.
It may also be concluded that besides awareness of social duty some other educational, demographic and psycho-
social variables may be important correlates of environmental awareness.
3.4 Educational Implication
This study reveals that about 35.3% of the environmental awareness scores of the students may be accounted by the
awareness towards social duty scores of the higher secondary students. This study may be helpful for policy maker
to give more important about the awareness towards social duty in the subject of civics books for higher secondary
students. The involvement and identification of the student with a field study based on affective development i.e.,
feelings, attitudes and values should be made. In order to help children’s grow in knowledge, skills and values,
attitudes and awareness relevant to environment’s teacher and sociologist is expected to be not only dispenser of
information and knowledge, but also managers to teaching learning situations.
