The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were developed by the United Nations in 2015 to encompass universal respect for equality and non-discrimination regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, and cultural diversity. Since 2000, Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) have aligned with SDG 4.3 by developing higher education institutions (HEIs) which aims to "By 2030, ensure equal access for all women and men to affordable and quality technical, vocational and tertiary education, including university". This was intended to create equal opportunities and permit full realisation and prosperity of human rights and human dignity. This paper explores the effectiveness of managing racial integration in BRICS HEIs and illustrates remarkable progress in research and policy enactment. Particular attention is devoted to the period from the mid-2000s when evidence around the globe exposed the presence of many forms of violence, which inhibit management of effective racial integration. Based on case studies from selected BRICS countries (South Africa, Russia, and Brazil), this paper explores how the management of racial integration is being addressed within these contexts.

More than 75 years have passed since India got independence. However, the sustainable development and higher education rates of some castes and tribes in India are disappointing. It is a matter of concern that some backward tribes are today struggling to achieve their sustainable development and increase the rate of higher education. In this research paper, India's sustainable development and Indian knowledge system has been reviewed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Emission-free economy is an achievable target with the formulation of policies by the Governments around the globe. A major contribution is made by the transport industry. Delhi is one of the examples among the cities in India which is polluting the air by transportation which is about 20 percent. Towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, the nation has to take a different trajectory from concentrating on the technical aspect of reducing the hazardous emissions to refining the regulatory awareness. The research study is based on the statistical inputs provided by the government agencies and the judicial verdicts seeking a pollution free atmosphere. The Judiciary has been proactively recommending and directing the respective government to take necessary action towards controlling the pollution caused due to road transport. Nevertheless, the use of Artificial Intelligence has been an area which has not been strongly recommended by the apex court. The regulatory and judicial control over the emissions is towards a penalizing perspective and the technological assistance has not been resorted to. Though a one hundred percent emission-free economy is not a possibility, the areas which are still not explored or have not been brought under the purview of consideration have been the scope of study in the research paper.

A lot of electrical and mechanical energy is wasted in the public toilets of government and private institutes, universities, and offices, in which exhaust fans run continuously during the daytime, throughout the year in India. Not only, a huge cost is involved just to exhaust foul air, but also, put on adverse effects on the environment. This event creates an undue burden on ecology and the economy. This study uncovers a solution to this research gap in the paper "Solar-assisted eco-innovation induces eco-ventilation." The system is an eco-friendly technology in which the eco-innovation system of heliostats focuses solar radiation on a hollow hot air bulb, creating a pressure difference to ensure air exchange, remove foul air, and enhance ventilation. Instead of depending on an electrical or mechanical exhaust system, this eco-innovation can be a business model that saves working costs as well as the environment, ensuring economical and ecological sustainability and also contributing to the development process.

The global discourse on sustainable development has surged in the past several years, prompting governments and corporations to reevaluate their strategies and plans in the context of the most pressing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns. India, a significant player in the world economy, must decide whether to embrace sustainability as a strategic advantage or as a moral obligation. India's journey towards sustainable development is characterized by a unique combination of challenges and opportunities. The country's population diversity, entrepreneurial spirit, and growing interest in innovation, on the one hand, provide a conducive atmosphere for sustainable companies to take root and expand. The country faces many obstacles, including a lack of resources, inadequate infrastructure, and complex legal frameworks, which could make it challenging to successfully integrate sustainable concepts into its economic framework. Sustainable investing makes sure that companies are evaluated not just on their financial performance but also on their social benefits. It is crucial for investors to consider a variety of concerns, including social, political, and environmental ones. This study examines the current situation, challenges, opportunities, and potential outcomes of India's evolving sustainable investment environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the periods 2010-2020, health insurance got awareness due to various reasons like unexpected health issues, accidents, family commitments. To enjoy the tax benefits, sudden financial burden for health issues, financial crisis due to various bank credits and other related factors among the various investment avenues, people consider health insurance also one of the avenues for their investment. This study makes an attempt to analyze the policyholders' preferences and the expectations towards the health insurance sector. For this study, primary data and secondary data are used. Through this study, suggestions were made to the various participants in the Indian health insurance industry. It is concluded that Health Insurance sector cannot grow if reasonable consumer expectations relating to access, cost and quality of healthcare remain promises rather than realities. In this juncture, this is the right time to identify the policyholders' preferences to grow more. This study makes an attempt to analyze the policyholders' preferences and the expectations towards the excellence of the health insurance sector and economic sustainability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

India ranks second after the US in terms of green technology and development projects. Over the next decade, new discoveries coupled with green technologies could help India's growth story, turning India into one of the world's leading sustainable economies. The Indian green building market is estimated to double in the near future as more and more citizens become aware of the negative effects humans have caused to the earth due to the widespread use of minerals, artificial products, pesticides and so on. The research focuses on numerous literatures and attempts to assess the Green building adoption or implementation barriers in the residential construction. The goal is to find and assess obstacles by questionnaire survey using ranking based on individual stakeholder's perception from developing countries like India. The findings revealed that there is a need for a shift in stakeholder perceptions and attitudes toward green building development. This article will assist construction professionals in their decision-making, raise awareness about the advantages of using green buildings and mitigate the impact on future project costs in India.

Environmental concern has primarily focused on manufacturing setups. Overall, countries work towards a sustainable lifestyle and development to reduce their carbon footprint. The world is now witnessing sustainability trends in the health Sector as well. The Healthcare sector worldwide is characterized by the consumption of a significant number of resources. It should be the health care organisation (HCO)'s primary responsibility to keep a check on carbon footprint and assess environmental sustainability. Worldwide there exists a standard rating system that provides green certifications. A major Indian population is below the poverty line, illiteracy contributes to unawareness in people as consequence healthcare organizations suffer in India. The present study aims to examine and understand the basics of green hospitals, various dimensions responsible to achieve green status, importance and correlation of these dimensions. It aims to examine the fundamentals of Green HCO, the various dimensions, barriers and a way forward to benign HC establishments in India. This work emphasizes the environmental, economic, health and community benefits of sustainability for the health care sector. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
