Research Paper Title Sustainable Higher Education Practices to Empower Students

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of sustainable higher education practices designed to empower students to achieve their aspirations. Through focused group discussions with stakeholders from Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Bangalore, the research employed a descriptive approach to identify key sustainable practices such as interdisciplinary approaches, problem-based learning, and service-learning that enhance critical thinking, teamwork, and social responsibility. The findings highlight the importance of integrating sustainability principles across curricula, promoting community engagement, and leveraging technology to create dynamic, student-centered learning environments. The study concludes that sustainable teaching methodologies not only foster academic and personal growth but also prepare students to address global challenges, thereby contributing to a more equitable and sustainable future by empowering them with the necessary skills and mindset.
