Abstract: The relationship between literature and the environment, though long-standing, has acquired renewed relevance in the contemporary context, as environmental concerns have become increasingly global. While science and technology offer various solutions to these ecological crises, they are often insufficient without a fundamental shift in human consciousness— particularly the prevailing anthropocentric worldview. Literature has emerged as a powerful medium for fostering environmental awareness, especially among younger generations. In Assamese literature, especially from the late twentieth century onward, a conscious engagement with environmental issues has begun to take shape, with the novel becoming a prominent vehicle for this discourse. This paper examines the representation of environmental consciousness in a selection of Assamese novels written for children and adolescents—Yat Ekhon Habi Asil, Aranya Rodan, Aranyar Bandhu, Prithivir Morom, and Seujiya Upatyakar Katha. It highlights how these works aim to cultivate ecological responsibility from an early age, thereby contributing to the development of a more environmentally conscious and accountable future generation.
