Abstract

The present study delves into the landscape of mindfulness-related interventions within the context of Indian higher education. Mindfulness, rooted in ancient contemplative traditions, has gained significant attention in recent decades for its potential to enhance well-being, cognitive capabilities, and learning outcomes. As the landscape of higher education in India continues to evolve with increasing academic pressures and mental health concerns, understanding the integration and efficacy of mindfulness interventions is of paramount importance. The findings of this literature review contribute to a nuanced understanding of the role of mindfulness in Indian higher education and offer insights into designing effective interventions that cater to the unique needs and aspirations of students. This review not only informs educators, policymakers, and practitioners but also provides a foundation for future research endeavors aimed at advancing the integration of mindfulness in the broader landscape of education in India.
