GREEN Olympiad is India's first annual examination on environmental issues for school students. The examination is designed innovatively to test the knowledge of students and also educate and sensitize them in the process. One of its kind in India, the GREEN Olympiad asks questions on environment and sustainability and green skills.

GO4Youth was launched in 2020 on the side-lines of GREEN Olympiad. It is also an annual MCQ-based examination for undergraduate and postgraduate students that evaluates environmental consciousness, behaviour, and aptitude of individuals.

The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) conducts GREEN Olympiad and GO4Youth.
