Education has always been a catalyst for societal change, cultural reform, and human progress. In the face of global challenges like climate change, pollution, and resource depletion, higher education institutions and research organizations play a pivotal role in fostering awareness, developing skills, and driving innovative solutions. Sustainable development has been widely recognized as the key to addressing environmental and economic crises, making its integration into education essential. Embedding sustainability across all levels of learning, from primary to higher education and research, can help make it a fundamental part of everyday life. In India, this integration is at a turning point, with new policies and reforms reshaping traditional teaching methods. The implementation of the National Education Policy, the launch of the National Skill Development Mission, and the introduction of 21st-century skills by the Central Board of Secondary Education are significant steps toward sustainability-focused education. This study evaluates these three policies, analyzing their impact on the education system and their role in promoting sustainability. A comparative analysis highlights the extent of sustainability skill integration within these policies and identifies potential areas for improvement, ensuring that education continues to drive India's transition toward a more sustainable and resilient future.
