In this paper we highlight the need for a policy approach of the Government sector to provide a uniform frame work of the facilities in the education system to every child. The study lays an emphasis on the fact that such a frame work would lead to a reduction in the vehicular density on the roads and a fall in the pollution level. It outlines a strategy to achieve an environment friendly and fuel saving transport system. The thrust of the study is to conserve energy by restructuring the education system.
