India, as one of the world's largest and fastest-growing economies, faces a significant challenge in balancing environmental sustainability with job security as it transitions towards a green economy. This article examines the complexities of worker rights within India's context, exploring how policies and practices can harmonize environmental concerns with the need to protect workers' livelihoods. Through a comprehensive analysis of India's green initiatives, labour laws, and socio-economic dynamics, this article sheds light on the opportunities and challenges inherent in this transition. Key considerations include the promotion of green jobs, skill development programs, social protection measures, and the role of stakeholders such as the government, employers, and trade unions. By adopting a nuanced approach that addresses the inter-sectionality of environmental and labour issues, India can navigate the transition to a green economy while safeguarding the rights and well-being of its workforce.
