—Daisaku Ikeda Sustainable development integrates social, economic, and environmental objectives, it has become an essential part of global development strategies. Although organized youth-led programs have been established in affluent countries, India has particular difficulties because of its socio-economic vulnerabilities. This research venture will provide a thorough overview examination of how literature and social work might act as platforms for youth-driven sustainability projects, particularly in marginalized groups, using case studies, noteworthy facts, news articles, and statistical data. The research examines the difficulties, actual conditions, and possible routes for incorporating these tactics into national policies and educational frameworks by assessing current international models and their viability in the Indian context. The investigation highlights the importance of policy changes to promote long-term adolescent participation, the effectiveness of social work in bringing about real change, and the role of literature as a vehicle for advocacy and awareness. This study attempts to provide a workable roadmap for enabling young people in underserved communities to spearhead sustainability-driven social change by comparing global best practices with India’s current situation.
