Environmental sanitation envisages promotion of health of the community by providing clean environment and breaking the cycle of disease. It depends on various factors that include hygiene status of the people, types of resources available, innovative and appropriate technologies according to the requirement of the community, socioeconomic development of the country, cultural factors related to environmental sanitation, political commitment, capacity building of the concerned sectors, social factors including behavioral pattern of the community, legislative measures adopted, and others. India is still lagging far behind many countries in the field of environmental sanitation.[1] The unsanitary conditions are appalling in India and need a great sanitary awakening similar to what took place in London in the mid-19th century.[2] Improvement in sanitation requires newer strategies and targeted interventions with follow-up evaluation.[3] The need of the hour is to identify the existing system of environmental sanitation with respect to its structure and functioning and to prioritize the control strategies according to the need of the country. These priorities are particularly important because of issue of water constraints, environment-related health problems, rapid population growth, inequitable distribution of water resources, issues related to administrative problems, urbanization and industrialization, migration of population, and rapid economic growth.

Higher education institutions are essential in cultivating future leaders, promoting innovation, and advancing societal progress. Attaining greatness in higher education necessitates a dedicated and involved workforce, rendering employee engagement and organizational commitment essential performance metrics. Employee engagement improves work happiness, motivation, and overall organizational productivity, whereas organizational commitment cultivates loyalty, decreases turnover, and guarantees long-term sustainability. This research examines the relationship between employee engagement and organizational commitment within the framework of sustainable higher education. It analyzes the role of these elements in fostering academic achievement, enhancing service delivery, and promoting institutional growth. The study analyzes the primary factors influencing engagement and commitment among professors and staff through an extensive literature analysis and empirical inquiry. The results provide essential insights for politicians, academic leaders, and human resource professionals to formulate policies that improve staff commitment, thereby promoting institutional excellence.
