Vidyanagar Nature Club was established with a mission to spread awareness amongst the local people on the need for environmental protection.

VNC addresses environment needs under three broad categories:

• Environment Education  - The aim is to recognise nature carrying capacity and develop models to enable sustainable growth and development.
• Harmonising human needs with natures limits is the objective.
• VNC uses a good mix of outdoor and indoor activities in these programmes.

These include:

• Observational Outings provide a break to city dwellers and introduce them to the beauty of nature.
• Camps promote adaptive living in harmony with nature.
• Anubhav - experiential learning which provides real experience about the environment which is taught in classrooms.
• Seminars and Workshops.
• Environmental Awareness.
• Reptile Education Program to dispel myths about reptiles and ensure they are not exterminated.
• Tree Conservation and Plantation - Along with spreading this message, VNC collaborates with other NGOs to promote tree plantations.
• Evils of plastic.
• Pollution -  air and water pollution. The awareness measures taken by VNC led to the close of a polluting fertiliser plant in the region.
• Environmental Conservation.
• Rescue & Rehabilitation - VNC supports the rescue of urban wildlife
• Saving Trees - VNC campaigns to prevent unnecessary felling of trees and has saved 400 trees.
