According to the theory of experiential learning, experiences are formed via our ongoing interactions and engagement with the world around us, and learning is a natural outcome of those experiences. Compared to behavioural and cognitive learning theories, experiential learning takes a broader tack. It considers the role that all experiences—thoughts, feelings, and environments—have in our capacity to learn. The goal of this research was to identify Jharkhand tribes' festivals that are significant to socio-ecological sustainability. The study's methodology used qualitative instruments. Participatory observation, focused group discussions, and interviews were used. Numerous festivals, including karma, sarhul, sohray saakrat, and baha, are socio-ecologically viable, according to the study's findings. Textbooks contain partial content about the festival. Students exhibit a moderate level of knowledge about sustainable development.
