The book provides a comprehensive account of the linkages between education, sustainable development, and nation-building from an interdisciplinary perspective. It examines various theories of education and sustainable development and critically explores the origin, evolution, and contours of education in India through the lens of the current policy debates around the Indian educational system. The book also investigates to what extent the New Educational Policy deliberations can be instrumental for the nation's development, as well as be an effective tool for devising sustainable solutions, including the new challenges posed by climate change.

An important blueprint of higher education policy and planning, the book will be indispensable for teachers, students, and researchers of education, public policy, educational studies, development studies, sustainable development, sociology, history, and political studies. It will also be of immense interest to policymakers, development practitioners, and NGOs.
