One million green jobs in two years, India

New Delhi: The fast-budding green energy sector of India is coming up with almost 1 million job offers for the young generation in the upcoming 2 years with varied options of jobs and to eradicate the unemployment from the nation.

This enhancement in the green energy sector will provide a huge facility for the awareness in environmental issues, growth in global carbon markets, the rise of green buildings, employment opportunities for lawyers, policy writers, carbon finance consultants, business risk analysts, architects and engineers. The government also wants to provide this in order to increase the level of awareness regarding the environment among the society. This is also giving opportunities to the engineers and the managers of the big companies.

Kamal Meattle, the promoter of the Green Spaces and CEO of the Paharpur Business Center and Software Technology Incubator Park said that, "These are just a few sectors and jobs out of the hundreds of jobs that will be altered and created into the future."

Udit Mittal, the Managing Director of Unison International, an HR consultancy firm is also supporting the view of Kamal Meattle. He said that the scope is so vast that it’s going to be very much helpful for the nation.

A ‘green job’ means the employment in any industry that contributes to preserving or restoring environmental quality. A green job can be a white or blue-collar job in any sector: agriculture, manufacturing, research and development, administration and service activities such as IT, finance, teaching and so on. One of the biggest future recruiters in green jobs is likely to be real estate, with green buildings coming up fast. Companies like Wipro, Microsoft, Cognizant, TCS, Infosys and Oracle are either operating – or planning to – from green offices.
