Our environment is in danger. If the current state of the environment remains, life on this planet cannot remain unaffected and immune. Degradation of the environment is a matter of global concern and is in dire need of a global remedy. The rapid increase in industrialization pose a serious threat to the environment and therefore, air and water pollution are the main problems in the environment. Amidst all this, a relatively new concept has gained momentum known as G-HRM. Green HRM has become a new catchword in the business organizations these days because of its increasing importance and benefits. Green HRM is the use of HR policies in such a way that it results in the more sustainable use of the resources in the business organizations thereby promoting environment sustainability. It is fairly a new concept but has gained popularity and is now a crucial part of the HR approach in business organizations. Green HRM is an extended form of traditional HR practices, in a way that with the typical HR practices it also focuses on earth-friendly practices within an organization. Green HR practices can be present in various forms and types in day to day HR practices ranging from recruitment, selection, training and development, incentives and rewards to performance appraisal. This paper tries to study the acceptance of Green HR practices by Indian Companies and their benefits. We also tried to study the future of G-HRM in India.
