The study was conducted on the sample of 640 secondary school students studying in class IX of Amritsar district. The study employed a pre-test / post-test equivalent group experimental design. Results revealed that Computer Assisted Instruction as a technique was more effective in creating a positive attitude towards prevention of environmental pollution among students. The CAI is effective in generating environmental awareness among secondary school students. They are also independent of the residential area of the students for generating environmental awareness among secondary school students. However, they are dependent on the type of school and gender for generating environmental awareness among secondary school students.
