The present study aims to explore various Green practices practised in higher educational institutions (HEI's) to attain environmental sustainability so that economic and social development go hand in hand without compromising our environment. Use of renewable sources of energy, proper conservation and management of flora & fauna, rain water harvesting, proper disposal of e-waste and chemical waste from laboratories, reducing use of non-renewable resources, recycling & reusing precious and limited resources, construction of green and eco-friendly buildings by using locally available building materials and incorporating traditional wisdom are some of the green practices which can solve the global environmental problems such as global warming and climate change. HEI's play a major role in spreading environmental awareness not only among students but also among masses by leading society by example. Some green practices such as conduction of certificate courses in organic and natural farming, promoting green lifestyle are also suggested in this paper. These green practices can improve our quality of life, build image of the institution and reduce carbon footprints to save our mother earth.
