About the Book

Amidst of rapid technological development in every walk of life, including the sphere of Education, the essence of 'Education for Sustainable Development' in Indian context is yet to be defined. However, many dimensions of thoughts are quite prominent, which centers round the concept of 'Education' and 'Sustainable Development'. The present volume is an attempt to encompass the essence of Education in one hand, and Sustainable Development on other, within a common frame. It is expected the combined thinking on 'Education and sustainable development' will stimulate the thinking of contemporary academics and will extend a vista of new 'area of interest'.
