Each stage of life shapes individuals' personal development and societal impact, with university students holding a pivotal role in shaping the future through education, research, and leadership. Swadharma, an innate tool, aids students in navigating their academic and personal paths authentically, developing fulfillment and positive contributions to society. This research investigates the significance of Swadharma, a concept rooted in ancient Indian philosophy, in the academic pursuits of university students. Swadharma underlines the notion of fulfilling one's inherent duty or purpose by aligning actions with intrinsic nature, nurturing personal fulfillment and success. The study aims to explore the impact of embracing Swadharma on students' personal growth and academic achievements within the university level academia.  Through a blend of qualitative and quantitative analyses, the research scrutinizes the correlation between students' comprehension and implementation of Swadharma and various aspects of their academic performance, well-being, and sense of purpose. Qualitative methods provide insights into the depth of students' understanding of Swadharma and its application in decision-making processes related to education and personal development. Meanwhile, quantitative analyses offer statistical evidence regarding the associations between Swadharma adherence and academic success metrics, such as academic engagement, wellbeing and overall satisfaction with university experiences. This research aims to contribute to the existing literature by shedding light on the potentially transformative role of Swadharma in shaping the educational journey of university students. By elucidating how Swadharma influences academic outcomes and holistic aspects of student well-being and purpose, the study provides valuable insights for educators, administrators, and policymakers seeking to enhance student engagement and success within higher education institutions. Ultimately, this exploration develops a deeper understanding of how philosophical principles can inform and enrich contemporary educational practices, nurturing students' personal growth and facilitating their pursuit of academic excellence.
