Abstract

The concept of mental well-being includes all other perspectives like social, emotional, and psychological mental well-being. Rational mental well-being means the process that can think, feel, and react in various circumstances as per one’s decision. Many mental disorders manifest themselves in the age of between 18 and 24, which is proportional to the average age of student enrolment in higher education. The study aims to explore the critical barriers that affect the mental well-being of students in higher education and the role of sustainable education in promoting the well-being of students. We have identified various barriers from an extensive literature review of higher education students in a developing country. In the analyses, we have found that academic stress is the most significant barrier for the students, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic in the Indian context.
