A comprehensive library provides books, documents, newspaper clippings, journals and audio visual aids to get information on all environment related subjects. Media programmes like workshops, fellowships and press conferences have tried to build an understanding of issues and enhance their reportage. In last few years CSE has also started to pass on its skills and information to other NGOs, students, government organisations and regulators through its training programmes.
