PES-001 Project Information
Opportunities for acquiring this kind of knowledge are limited and a larger segment of our population may not have access to institutions offering environmental education as a regular programme of study. Moreover, at most of those places the courses on offer do not serve the essential purpose of environmental literacy; they are so designed as to cater to target groups seeking specific educational packages in environmental specialisations. The present programme aims at fostering environmental awareness and concern among the people in general and a better understanding of how environmental issues may be approached for initiating correctives.
How to make PES-001 (CES) Project
Easy five-step process to make and submit your CES project synopsis & report
Step 1: Download and Read the PES-001 Project Guidelines / Manual
Before attempting to make your CES project, It is important to read the project manual that is sent to you as part of your study materials. If you did not receive it, you can also download the PES-001 project manual by clicking the button below.
Step 2: Get details of your CES Project Supervisor / Guide
You can get the details of your PES-001 project supervisor by contacting the coordinator of your study centre. Most projects must be undertaken under the supervision of the project supervisor. It is only after you get the approval of your supervisor can you submit your project to IGNOU for examination.
Step 3: Create and Submit your PES-001 Project Synopsis / Proposal
A synopsis is a brief summary of the project that you intend to make. It is essentially a description of what you propose to do in your CES project and how you intend to go about it. Usually, it should be 1000 words in length (approx 10-14 pages). It should be developed and approved in consultation with the project supervisor. The synopsis for PES-001 should include major sections like: The title, the rationale behind the proposed topic, objectives of the study, review to relevant literature, outline of the research plan and methods used to complete the study. It may also include a chapter outline and preliminary bibliography. Once the synopsis / proposal is prepared, it must be approved by your supervisor. Once it is approved, you must send a copy of your synopsis to IGNOU in Delhi to the programme co-ordinator or in some cases via email to the regional center. The exact address and details are in your project guide/manual.

Step 4: Create your PES-001 Project / Dissertation Report
While you wait for a letter of approval from your CES programme co-ordinator, you can already begin making your project. Sometimes it may take over a month to hear back from IGNOU. In the worst case, if you do not hear back after repeated attempts, you can try to submit your project directly along with the synopsis again. Once your synopsis is approved, you can now begin working on your project. The project report is usually 10,000 - 15,000 words in length. (approx. 80-100 pages). It should have a cover page, various annexure formats, a table of contents, acknowledgment, and the main sections. It must also contain a bibliography at the end. The deadlines to submit are usually 31st May for June Exams and 30th November for December Exams.
Preparing the PES-001 report for Certificate in Environmental Studies is a complex process. In order to make things easy for you, check out the below reference materials and templates to help build the project report.
Step 5: Submit your PES-001 Project / Dissertation Report
Once your CES project report is ready and approved by your supervisor, make sure it has his or her signature on it. You can make and submit your projects in handwritten as well as printed (typed) format. We highly recommend students to make it using Microsoft Word as it appears more professional and it is easier for the teachers to evaluate. You must submit your final reports to:
Registrar,
Student Evaluation Division (SED),
Block-12,
Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)
Maidan Garhi
New Delhi - 110 068
Reports can also be submitted online on IGNOU's portal mentioned below:
