As per the definition given by the Cambridge Dictionary, “ To nudge is to push something or someone gently, especially to push someone with your elbow to attract the erson's attention.”  Nudge is one of the most influential concept on public policy published in recent years. Its ideas are relevant to public policy, academic research, and business. According to Richard Thaler and Cass R Sunstein;

 “ In many cases, people make pretty bad decisions- decisions they would not have made if they had paid, full attention and possessed complete information, unlimited cognitive abilities, and complete self-control” ( Thaler, Sunstein,2015)

Educators, Governments, and bureaucrats, who draft academic policy, should focus on the growth of knowledge and not mere knowledge in the form of content and information. Academic decision making is for growth of knowledge, in the absence of this, everything is possible but if the growth of knowledge is not occurring, then it is a barren policy. This creates a waste of land, this article is on improving decisions about learning in higher education through nudging is an attempt to make it free from crisis and to make it more sustainable.
