Professor Trivedi is pioneer in introducing the environmental education programme and clean-up campaign by involving more than 2 million school children in India. He has given the slogan 'Catch Them Young' for educating the children for the 21st century.

He has helped the Central and the State Governments in creation of environment friendly as well as sustainable jobs by introducing Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral programmes in  the areas of environment, pollution control, ecological education, environmental communication, environmental laws, diaster mitigation, sustainable development and human rights.

Professor Trivedi has helped more than 35 universities in India and other countries enabling them to sign Memorandum of Understanding for designing programmes in new and emerging fields relating to employment generation and vocationalisation of existing careers.

Between 1977 and 2002 he has successfully organised more than 300 national as well as international  congresses, seminars and workshops in collaboration with world renowned bodies for the protection of Mother Earth.

He has been honoured by many national as well as global organisations for his outstanding contribution in the areas of formal as well as non formal environmental education, alternative, complementary and energetic medicine for his optimisation techniques with a view to bring environmental sustainability.

Prof. Trivedi is keen to help the Federal and other Governments under the leadership for translating his programme of employment generation in to action. Prof. Trivedi wishes to create employment opportunities for each and every person in the country by tackling the two important problems - unemployment and pollution. The idea is to have more and more job givers rather than job seekers.

Prof. Trivedi can implement these programmes by proposing some changes in the existing educational policies by putting necessary inputs of mother earth protection strategies, attitudinal and behavioural change, entrepreneurial leadership and green culture for entering the 21st century with a cleaner and greener mind.

Educating the children and young people with a sense of openness and comprehension towards other people, their diverse culture and histories and their fundamental shared humanity; teaching them the importance of refusing violence and adopting peaceful means for resolving disagreements and conflicts; forging in the next generation feelings of altruism, openness and respect towards others, solidarity and sharing based on a sense of security in one's own identity and a capacity to recognise the many dimensions of being human in different cultural and social context will be some of the main thrusts during the deliberations at Verbania. Let us discuss these matters in a greater detail:
