The issue of environmental sustainability awareness among the Indian students is becoming significant with the rise of national priorities on climate resilience, resource efficiency, and sustainable development in India. This research paper will focus on (a) sustainability awareness of students with regards to core areas of sustainability awareness (climate change, waste management, water/energy conservation, biodiversity, and sustainable consumption), (b) socio-demographic and educational variables related to sustainability awareness, and (c) the relationship between sustainability awareness and pro-environmental intentions and self-reported sustainability behavior. Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991) and the Value/Belief/Norm model (Stern, 2000), quantitative research approach is suggested and implemented in the study and applicable to the Indian high education settings. Since you have not included primary data, this Results section is already in the form of a ready-to-use research with an illustrative (example) dataset and analyses that indicate how to actually write up findings, tables, and figures without pretending to have actually carried out any fieldwork. The article provides a tested tool description, statistical analysis proposal and practical suggestions to campuses, in particular green literacy courses, project-based learning, and student-led living lab sustainability programs, to reinforce the impact of awareness-to-action processes.
