Abstract

Over a period of time, sustainable development (SD) gaining momentum as international declarations is binding the whole globe through a single cord. Stockholm Conference in 1972 (UNEP, 1972, Declaration of the United Nations conference on the human environment.) witnessed the recognition of education for environmental protection and conservation. Since then more and more higher education institutions have been engaged in embedding sustainability throughout the academic cycle. This cycle starting from input (institutional frameworks, such as vision, mission and policies), processes such as (curriculum, research, outreach and collaboration, on campus experience, campus operations, assessment and reporting), output (impact on social, environmental and economic perspective). The closing of the loop ends with feedback mechanism to rectify the system at process level or input level. This review article observes the complete SD cycle for management education.
