In culturally diverse societies like India, higher education institutions play a vital role in preserving cultural heritage and shaping the values and cultural consciousness of youth. Arts education contributes significantly to cultural sustainability by fostering creativity, critical thinking, cultural identity and intercultural understanding. Drawing on international perspectives, the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Indian Knowledge Systems, and relevant literature, the study highlights gaps between policy intent and institutional practice. It identifies curricular rigidity, faculty preparedness and market-driven educational priorities as key challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article explores the role of arts education in promoting cultural sustainability in Indian higher education by analysing policy frameworks, curriculum integration strategies, and implementation challenges. It concludes by suggesting strategic measures to strengthen arts education for sustaining India\u2019s cultural heritage through higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Cultural Sustainability, Arts Education, Indian Higher Education, NEP 2020, Indian Knowledge Systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: 173-177<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bijmrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/173-177.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Ruchira Ray &amp; Dr. Biswajit Chakraborty DOI Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/03121025 Abstract: Cultural sustainability has emerged as a critical dimension of sustainable development, complementing environmental, economic and social perspectives.
