The study has used a survey method through developing a questionnaire and analysed the results through descriptive statistics, percentage analysis and Chi-Square tests. The results from Chi-Square tests and Fisher Exact Tests revealed that there is significant association of gender, age and occupation with the awareness about Green marketing. Also, it is found that willingness to pay high prices for buying Green products varies with gender significantly. A majority of respondents (88%) were found to be aware about Green marketing and more than 91% about Green products. The most popular source of information is social media for 46.8% respondents.
