By drawing from millennia-old practices deeply rooted in Indian culture, such as yoga, martial arts, and indigenous sports, this study examine their potential to foster sustainable development principles. Through a comprehensive review of literature, historical analysis, and contemporary case studies, this research elucidates how these practices embody sustainability concepts, promote holistic well-being, and cultivate a harmonious relationship with nature. Furthermore, it explores the potential integration of these practices into modern physical education curricula and sports programs to promote sustainable lifestyles, environmental stewardship, and social cohesion. By synthesizing ancient wisdom with contemporary needs, this research seeks to offer insights and strategies for harnessing the transformative power of ancient Indian practices to advance sustainable development agendas in the realm of physical education and sports.
