        abstract = {In the present time, organizations are expected to contribute not only to profits and economic growth but also to the protection of the environment. Green Human Resource Management (Green HRM) is a modern approach where human resource activities such as recruitment, training, performance appraisal, and rewards are carried out in a way that supports environmental goals. In India, Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) are very large organizations with a huge workforce and wide operations. Because of their size, they consume large amounts of energy and natural resources, which makes them responsible for adopting sustainable and ecofriendly practices.
This paper explains how PSEs in India are using Green HRM practices such as green recruitment, green training, green performance management, eco-friendly workplace initiatives, and green compensation. It also shows how these practices are directly linked with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) like affordable and clean energy, responsible consumption, climate action, and sustainable industrial development. The paper also discusses the challenges faced in adopting Green HRM and suggests ways to improve it. Overall, Green HRM is found to be an effective method for balancing economic development and environmental sustainability in the Indian public sector.},
