Description :
With its spiritual background and fearless search for truth, Indian thought has developed
Scientific temperament on the basis of solidarity and divinity of everything living and also
free and cooperative development of individuals and species, as compared to the Western
world where Science is yet to bring real temper to create harmony and higher stages of
human growth. Scientific temperament is a way of life - an individual and social process of
thinking and acting – using scientific methods, which may include questioning, observing
physical reality, testing, hypothesizing, analyzing, and communicating. Such an attitude of
scientific temperament leads one to critically think about everything around and find ways
for best and optimal uses of resources. This paper examines the possibilities of a few ways
of conservation of some components of environment such as water and electricity as
discussed by some B.Ed. students. The topic of conservation of water and electricity were
given to them for group discussion. Both of these resources are limited, hence their
conservation is important.
