Based on the order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, the UGC has introduced:

Acting on an order of the Supreme Court, the UGC introduced a compulsory module on Environmental Studies at the undergraduate level.

The Choice-Based Credit System was a UGC reform but not the outcome of this court order.

Regulations for M.Phil and Ph.D. coursework arose from the UGC's own regulatory role.

Minimum qualifications for university teachers are laid down by UGC regulations, not by this judgment.

The direction came in the environmental-awareness litigation to spread ecological education.

Environmental education thus became a mandatory component across undergraduate programmes.
