Through ESD, the world wants to bring awareness among the future generation in maintenance of healthy natural environment and shaping a sustainable future. This requires a re-orientation of current education systems, where economical growth goes hand in hand with environmental integrity and social justice. ESD never be considered as a new subject in the field of study as it deals with real –life issues which have an impact both locally and globally. It develops not only knowledge of particular subject but also it improves certain values and world-views. Besides this, certain values, unsustainable practices such as collaboration and creativity, empathy and honesty are being imparted. Topics such as planting trees, water conservation etc., should be incorporated in curriculum. Therefore ESD brings surrounding world, people and cultural heritage into limelight. Inter disciplinary and cross – curricular work have been developed through Inquiry Based Learning. ESD focuses on managerial approach and ignoring the current trends in education, influenced by global capitalism. Therefore, issue of future sustainability can be dealt with the societies which are flexible, adaptive and resilient. Imparting innovative education for sustainable development in the curriculum for all level of students will create a hope for better future.

INTRODUCTION In globalised world, education is being imparted through integrated approach rather than conventional mode. Unlike the class room learning, the creativity of the learner is nurtured by environment. Pure learning can be possible by the teacher, who transform the brick-and-mortar confinement and take the students on a journey of pure learning by responding to their doubts and instilling an environment of curiosity among the students. Therefore innovative methods are being incorporated in educational institutions to optimize the learning experience and to install the latest educational technology. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a burning issue of the world.

Van Poeck and Loones commented: “Education for Sustainable Development is learning to think about and work towards a liveable world, now and in the future, for ourselves and for others, here and elsewhere on the planet” (2011: 5). According to Dewey, “ESD is not just adding sustainability as an extra topic to the curriculum, but rather enabling learners to contribute to sustainable societies. ESD is about preparing the learner for an active role in society oriented towards sustainability. In this sense, ESD is connected to the tradition of citizenship education, preparing students to become active citizens in society” (1944: 78). It is obvious that ESD focuses on managerial approach and ignoring the current trends in education, influenced by global Innovative Education for Sustainable Development
