Embedding Environmental Ethics in Indian Education: A Study on Value-Based Approaches to Sustainable Development in Higher Institutions

Author(s) Prof. Indu Sharma, Dr. Rajesh Dhaka
Country India
Abstract Abstract
Environmental ethics and sustainable values have become central to the discourse on higher education in India, particularly in the context of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasizes holistic, value-based learning. This study explores the extent to which environmental ethics are embedded in Indian higher education institutions (HEIs), the pedagogical practices used to nurture ecological consciousness, and the challenges faced by educators in promoting sustainability. Using a mixed-method approach, data were collected from 120 faculty members and 300 students across five Indian universities especially from Delhi & Haryana. Quantitative analysis was conducted through descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative responses were thematically analysed. The findings reveal a growing awareness of environmental ethics among educators but a lack of structured institutional frameworks and curriculum integration. The paper concludes with recommendations for embedding sustainability ethics within higher education curricula, institutional culture, and teacher training, aligning with India’s sustainable development goals (SDGs) and NEP 2020 vision. Future research may explore longitudinal impacts of value-based environmental education and comparative studies across regions and disciplines.
Keywords Environmental ethics, sustainable development, value-based education, higher education, NEP 2020.
