摘要：The purpose of this paper is to identify practices gap existing between environmental understanding and environmental attitude of students with respect to Indian higher education. Researchers have proposed a theoretical framework using systematic literature review and interpretive structural modelling to understand and analyze environmental concern. Proposed research study has utilized primary and secondary data. In order to gather primary data, interview schedule and questionnaire was provided for expert opinion from environmental experts and academicians to understand the influence of identified variables. The practices of environmentally responsible behaviour need to be in concert with education. The authors have attempted to discuss and debate the relationship among variables using interpretive structural modelling (ISM). Environmental governance and sustainable development attitude emerged as the most significant factors. All variables were interconnected and mutually influencing each other. Three levels were derived from the model. A sustainable development environmental education model for Indian higher education has been derived and proposed by the authors showcasing a contextual relation between the identified variables having practical implications.
