    Promoting sustainable employee practices through the interface of all employees at educational institutions is known as “green human resource practices.” The term “green human resource or sustainable people management practices” refers to HR initiatives that are environmentally friendly, support the sustainable use of resources in educational institutions, and increase faculty productivity in higher education. It leads to more efficiency, lower expenses, and improved faculty management. In order to increase the productivity of faculty members in higher education institutions, this article’s contribution consists of compiling the body of existing literature in the field, outlining the landscape, and suggesting new practices to make justifiable use of scarce resources besides prevent the environment from getting contaminated, help in coordinating and reducing waste and avoidable carbon.<\/p>

    The purpose of this research work is to quantify the presence of green HRM practices in colleges and the use of these practices by faculty members in higher education institutions across India. Although a comprehensive understanding of the processes and mechanisms by which sustainable<\/p>

    people management practices effect college faculty members’ behavior is needed, this study offers a basic understanding of the components of Sustainable People Management Practices and current practices prevalent in educational institutions with suggestion to improve the obstacles while implementing these practices. The study gives us an overview of the fundamentals of GRM procedures and how employees use them in their daily work at institutions.<\/p>
