RCE Delhi is located in the capital of India and is bordered on three sides by Haryana and by Uttar Pradesh to the East. With more than 18.6 million living in Delhi, the capital has a bigger population than Australia. Being one of the world's most polluted cities, Delhi is faced with several environmental and social threats. Air pollution caused by road dust and industry, water pollution and lack of solid waste treatment facilities are just a few of the challenges the city faces every day.

RCE Delhi was established in view of the growing demand for ‘education’ projects, at the institutional level and beyond. RCE Delhi firmly believes that there is a need for governments, civil society organizations, academic institutions and every individual of this planet to come together in solidarity for the protection of the only planet where life is possible. In order to realize this belief in reality, RCE Delhi engagee students, teachers and youth in promoting environmental sustainability and support them in value-based learning for creating environmentally responsible citizenry and self-reliance in communities.
