Abstract
Introduction: Environmental sustainability is an important component for transforming higher education for a sustainable tomorrow hence, there is a pressing need to step up initiatives for environmental sustainability.

While institutes have several academic and administrative audits, environmental audit is comparatively neglected. Environmental sustainability includes protecting and restoring ecological systems, optimal utilization of resources, enhancing the well-being of all people, and motivating students to take up environmental educational projects as part of their curriculum.
