| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Based on the preliminary observational data of rural households in Bangladesh, I have observed that indoor air pollution is one of the most significant cause of respiratory diseases and premature deaths. I am now investigating the impact of environmental education of child towards action to reduce indoor air pollution.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
The progress of the project is smooth at this point of time. The data collection process for the representative samples are ongoing. I will conduct experiment at household level in Bangladesh.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
This project is highly relevant to sustainable development goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations. I have hypothesized that intergenerational transfer of environmental knowledge from children to parent might have revolutionary impact on indoor air pollution reduction. Based on the outcome of my analysis, I will develop model and write academic article to deal with this challenge.

| Causes of Carryover |
The project activities was delayed due to COVID 19. Therefore, I was unable to use it for field experiments.
