This paper revisits the prescient ideas of Rabindranath Tagore, a 19th-century Indian polymath, whose work offers early insights into sustainable living. It examines how Tagore's educational philosophy integrates economic development with ecological consciousness and social responsibility, a concept he actualized through the establishment of progressive educational institutions like Visva-Bharati University. Through a comparative analysis of Tagore's written works and the pedagogical practices at these institutes, the paper elucidates the enduring relevance of his ideas in contemporary sustainability discourse. The research demonstrates that Tagore's holistic approach to education—encompassing local culture, environment, and self-awareness—prefigured key principles of modern sustainability and offers valuable lessons for integrating these into higher education. The findings suggest that Tagore's institutions serve as living models of sustainability, emphasizing the interconnectedness of humanity and nature, a concept deeply rooted in Indian Knowledge traditions but often sidelined in Western pedagogy. The paper argues that Tagore's vision, if more broadly adopted, has the potential to reshape educational practices towards more sustainable outcomes, advocating for a harmony with nature that counters the ecological destructiveness of unchecked economic development.
