Abstract

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a significant concept or a subject that was developed and nourished by UNESCO. The idea reflects the integration of the key issues of sustainable development into the educational process. It mainly focuses on the environmental, economic, and social agendas that support the development of the present scenario and secure the future. The concept focuses on education that encourages every human being to gain knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values that support development and a sustainable future. The article entitled New Media and the Education for Sustainable Development in India’ evaluates two main case studies of ESD in India and reflects the concept of Education for Sustainable Development, how it gains a high priority in India, and gets reflected into the syllabus and curriculum of the central and state education systems. Along with these the article also focuses on the support of new media and digitalization that transform the education system and provide a momentum to the concept of Education for Sustainable Development.
