Abstract	Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, a psychological theory proposed by Abraham Maslow in 1943, outlines a progression of human needs from basic physiological requirements to self-actualization. This framework can be effectively utilized to enhance higher education in India, addressing both student welfare and educational outcomes. This abstract explores the relevance and application of Maslow's theory within the Indian higher education context, emphasizing its potential to create a more supportive and conducive learning environment. The foundation of this approach involves ensuring that the physiological needs of students, such as adequate nutrition, housing, and health care, are met. Many Indian students face significant socio-economic challenges, making this foundational level critical for their academic success. Ensuring safety and security within educational institutions is equally important, encompassing both physical safety and emotional security. As students progress, the focus shifts to belongingness and love needs, highlighting the importance of a supportive community, peer relationships, and mentorship. Esteem needs are addressed by recognizing and celebrating student achievements, fostering a sense of accomplishment and self-worth. Finally, to facilitate self-actualization, higher education institutions in India must provide opportunities for creativity, critical thinking, and personal growth. This abstract underscores that applying Maslow's Hierarchy in higher education requires a holistic approach, involving policy reforms, infrastructure improvements, and a commitment to addressing the diverse needs of students. By doing so, Indian higher education can better support student development, leading to improved academic performance and overall well-being.
