This research investigates the interplay of financial literacy, digital narratives, and public engagement in shaping India's green transition. Analysis of government budget documents reveals a shift towards green financing, yet significant gaps exist between allocated and actual expenditures. YouTube comments demonstrate public support for green initiatives alongside concerns and criticisms. Topic modelling identified key public interests, including government policies, renewable energy, and social and economic concerns. The study underscores the pivotal role of financial literacy in empowering citizens to understand and engage with green transition policies. By enhancing financial literacy through digital platforms, individuals can better assess the implications of green initiatives and participate in public discourse, driving more informed and inclusive green transition policies.
