The inspiring journey of 14-year-old climate activist Licypriya Kangujam from Manipur has now found a place in the CBSE English Literature curriculum for students across India.
Her life story has been included in the Grade 5 English textbook under the CBSE syllabus. Her journey is also featured in educational material for Grades 4 and 7, along with references in courses offered by several universities under the framework of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
“Honoured and humbled that my life story is now being taught in the CBSE English Literature textbook for Grade 5 across India. My journey is already part of the curriculum for Grades 4 and 7 and various universities as well as per New Education Policy 2020,” said Licypriya.
“From a small village to classrooms across the nation — this is not just my story, but a message to every child that age is never a barrier to creating change,” she added.
Licypriya has earned national and international recognition for her work in raising awareness about climate change, environmental protection and disaster preparedness at a very young age. Through campaigns, public speeches and participation in global platforms, she has become one of India’s youngest and most prominent voices advocating climate action.
