A green-collar worker is someone who works in the economy's environmental areas. Professionals such as green
        building architects, environmental consultants, waste management or recycling managers, environmental or biological
        systems engineers, landscape architects, solar and wind energy engineers and installers, green vehicle engineers,
        organic farmers, environmental lawyers, and businessmen dealing with green services or products are examples of
        green-collar workers. Electricians who install solar panels, plumbers who install solar water heaters, construction workers
         ho construct energy efficient green buildings, technicians and  orkers involved in the establishment of  ind po er
        farms, and those working for clean and renewable energy development are examples of green workers. Green jobs at
        the enterprise level can produce things or provide services that benefit the environment, such as green buildings or
        clean transportation.
        However, these green outputs (products and services) are not always based on environment-friendly manufacturing
        processes and technologies. As a result, green employment can be characterised by their contribution to
        environment-friendly procedures. In addition, the government, in collaboration with business partners, is promoting
        energy a areness and technologies for energy efficiency, in uencing consumer behaviour and establishing energy
        codes. To overcome the skilled labour shortages, the Indian government is looking at long-term development. The
        Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship has established the ‘Green Jobs Skill Council’. It is striving for
        enhancing the usage of renewable energy, long-term development, and handling of waste.
         reen  obs, that e ist in a variety of occupational profiles of talents and educational backgrounds, are a completely
        new sort of career, but the majority are based on established professions and occupations. The government is also
        providing the push for green jobs as a part of restructured growth policies under its 'Make in India' programme, with the
        goal of building a greener economy and developing environment-friendly employment possibilities. ‘Make in India’ is
        intended to encourage investment, accelerate innovation, improve talent development, safeguard intellectual property,
        and construct best manufacturing structures.

         he greening of the economy provides a significant potential to launch ne  firms, generate ne  markets, and reduce
        energy costs.  reen employment that helps to safeguard the environment and reduce carbon footprints are quickly
        becoming important in the 21st century. Green jobs help to:
        •   boost energy and ra  material efficiency             •    minimise greenhouse gas emissions
        •   keep trash and pollutants under control              •    safeguard and restore ecosystems
        •   advocate for adaptation to the effects of climate change
                                                                                           Experiential Learning
