Higher Education Institutions (HELs) plays an important role in evolving environmentally responsible citizens and developing the sustainable practices within society. HELs possess the potential to influence attitudes, behaviors and sustainable decision – making through knowledge creation, policy development and community engagement. The paper explores the contribution of HELs for the development of green communities by curriculum integration, campus sustainability initiatives, research innovations, outreach projects and student participation. Taking over the insights from global and national practices, the study emphasizes the transformative role of universities and college in strengthening the ecological awareness. Finally, the paper deals with a strategic, multi stakeholder approach within HELs that accelerates significantly the transition on environmentally conscious societies.
