Speaking on the announcement, Mr. Lalit Kumar Aggarwal, Co-founder and Vice Chairman, Signature Global (India) Ltd., said:
“At Signature Global, sustainability is not an afterthought but a core principle that guides our operations. Through this partnership with WRI India, we aim to demonstrate how data-driven approaches can make dust mitigation more effective and scalable. This pilot at Daxin will not only enhance on-ground practices but also inspire the broader real estate industry and inform policy measures for cleaner, healthier construction practices.”

Construction activities are a significant contributor to particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) emissions, largely through the resuspension of dust. These emissions not only create health risks for workers but also adversely impact ambient air quality across the National Capital Region (NCR). With periodic construction bans being imposed in the region due to severe air pollution, the livelihoods of workers, builders, and homebuyers are also at stake.

While Signature Global has already adopted proactive dust mitigation measures such as installation of air quality monitoring sensors, periodic sprinkling, use of covering materials, and capacity building of site staff, the new pilot with WRI India will further strengthen these efforts.

The pilot study will be conducted at Signature Global Daxin, as part of the company’s association with the India Alliance for Clean Construction, a coalition dedicated to mainstreaming sustainable construction solutions. Low-cost sensors will be deployed at the project site to record the impact of various dust mitigation measures and to explore how such sensors can be optimally utilized for site-level decision making. The study aims to fill a critical gap in policy and action by showcasing practical steps that builders can adopt to mitigate air pollution.

This initiative reinforces Signature Global’s leadership in implementing sustainable best practices in the NCR region, ensuring that growth and development go hand in hand with environmental responsibility.

The agreement focuses on boosting green skills in manufacturing, service and agriculture sectors. It also aims to promote sustainable development by equipping individuals and businesses, including Micro Small Medium Enterprises (MSME), with market-relevant skills for green jobs.

The initiative combines skill training with research to help more people build careers in green industries. As the demand for green jobs grows worldwide, NSDC and WRI India will design training programmes that match global opportunities, creating new avenues for Indian workers in international markets.

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Ved Mani Tiwari, CEO, NSDC and MD, NSDC International, said, “India’s transition to a green economy presents a remarkable opportunity to empower its workforce with future-ready skills. This partnership with WRI India will play a pivotal role in equipping youth and MSMEs with specialized capabilities that not only meet domestic demand but also position India as a global hub for green talent. By integrating cutting-edge research, industry collaboration, and training excellence, we are committed to driving sustainable livelihoods, economic resilience, and climate-conscious growth.”

Madhav Pai, CEO of WRI India, emphasized, “As India transitions toward a green economy, equipping its workforce with the right skills is critical to unlocking sustainable growth and global opportunities. Our collaboration with NSDC marks a significant step in bridging the green skill gap by integrating research-driven insights with practical strategies and innovative skilling models. By fostering industry-aligned reskilling and upskilling initiatives, we aim to empower individuals and businesses — especially MSMEs — to thrive in a low-carbon future. This partnership will drive our shared vision of making India a leader in the green workforce revolution.

NSDC and WRI India will design industry-aligned curriculums to arm individuals with skills for green jobs and self-employment. The initiative will also support local economies by linking skill development with real-world opportunities.

“This effort connects skill development with local economic needs, creating new livelihood opportunities. Focused training and capacity building will prepare more people for jobs in the green economy,” Mr. Tiwari said.

By expanding access to green skills, the effort will help India build a workforce ready for emerging opportunities in sustainable industries.
