What is it about?
The research underscores the urgent need for educational reforms in India that go beyond traditional metrics of success, addressing the gaps in moral education and sustainable practices. By fostering critical thinking, ethical decision-making, and social responsibility, DEI demonstrates how an education system can prepare students for future challenges while promoting a deeper consciousness about their role in society.

Why is it important?
The Indian higher education system faces significant challenges in integrating value-based education, sustainability, and consciousness, often prioritizing academic achievements over holistic development. This case-based research explores how Dayalbagh Educational Institute (DEI) effectively addresses these challenges by incorporating sustainability, value, and consciousness into its educational framework. DEI was selected for its distinctive approach, which emphasizes moral and social responsibility, fostering not only academic success but also the ethical development of students. The study draws on document analysis and observations to illustrate how DEI’s educational practices serve as a model for other institutions.
Perspectives
Education is far from what we usually define it. It is about building the character of students. The students are the only outputs of any educational institute, and they are the future. So, it is the liability of institutions to prepare the future ‘society’. There can be a debate about the support for either a prehistoric type of education or current scientific education. But for achieving better worldliness, a mixture of both is crucial for actual human development
