## ANSWER

MINISTER  OF  STATE  IN  THE  MINISTRY  OF  ENVIRONMENT,  FOREST  AND CLIMATE CHANGE (SHRI ASHWINI KUMAR CHOUBEY)

(a), (b), (c) & (d):

Ministry has identified 123 non-attainment cities where PM10 concentrations have exceeded the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for 5 consecutive years. To address air pollution, MoEF&CC has launched a National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) which is a time-bound,  national  level  strategy  to  address  the  air  pollution  in  131  cities  (89  nonattainment cities; 34 non-attainment cities & million-plus cities, and 8 Million-plus cities) of the country. It includes implementation of Clean Air Action Plans at National, State and City levels  for  source  specific  mitigation  and  coordinated  actions  by  Union  Ministries,  State Governments and their agencies.

Further,  a  Comprehensive  Environmental  Pollution  Index  (CEPI)  methodology  has  been developed  to  categorise  the  industrial  areas  into  Critically  Polluted  Areas  and  Severely Polluted Areas to improve environmental quality in these areas. 69 Industrial Areas have been identified as Critically/ Severely Polluted Areas. Action plans in respect of these industrial areas have been prepared and concerned State Pollution Control Boards/Pollution Control Committees have been mandated for implementation of CEPI Action Plans.

Details of PM 10 concentrations of 131 cities covered under NCAP for the financial year 2022-23 are enclosed at Annexure-I .

The measures taken by the Government to address air pollution are placed at Annexure - II .

Details  of  State-wise  and  year-wise  funds allocated  during  the last  5  years  to address  air pollution are provided at Annexure - III .

The details of various Schemes and initiatives launched by the Government to improve air quality are provided at Annexure-IV . Details of schemes implemented in Madhya Pradesh are placed at Annexure-V .

- The Commission for Air Quality Management in NCR and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) on 17.09.2021 directed the coal-based Thermal Power plants situated up to a radius of 300 Km of Delhi to co-fire biomass based Pellets, Torrefied Pellets/Briquettes (with focus on paddy straw) with Coal (up to 5-10%).
- Guidelines prepared for providing one-time financial assistance for establishment of paddy  straw  based  pelletisation  and  torrefaction  plants,  under  which  individuals /entrepreneurs / companies, interested in setting up pelletisation and torrefaction plants, using only paddy straw generated in the NCT of Delhi, States of Punjab & Haryana, and NCR districts of Rajasthan & Uttar Pradesh can submit an application for obtaining a one-time grant on capital investment.
- Guidelines  issued  for  supporting  Municipal  Corporations  of  the  states  of  Punjab, Haryana,  NCT  of  Delhi  and  NCR  districts  of  Uttar  Pradesh  and  Rajasthan,  for establishing  paddy  straw  based  briquetting  plants,  for  use  of  paddy  straw  based briquettes for cremation purpose only.
- Daily monitoring of Active Fire Events (AFEs) is done during stubble burning period and reports are shared with Commission on Air Quality Management in National Capital Region and Adjoining areas for suitable action.

## iv. Monitoring of Ambient Air Quality:

- Expansion  of  air  quality  monitoring  network  in  the  country  under  National  Air Monitoring Programme (NAMP).
- Initiation of pilot projects to assess alternate ambient monitoring technologies such as satellite-based monitoring.

## v. National Clean Air Programme:

- With the prime objective of abating Air Pollution, the Ministry, in 2019 launched a National  Clean  Air  Programme  (NCAP)  as  a  National-level  Strategy  outlining  the actions for reducing the levels of air pollution at city and regional scales in India.
- NCAP targets to achieve upto 40% reduction in Particulate Matter concentrations by 2026 or achievement of National Ambient Air Quality Standard in 131 NACs & MPCs.
- Under NCAP, Non-attainment cities have been identified based on ambient air quality levels  exceeding  National  Ambient  Air  Quality  Standards  (NAAQS)  which  were notified  to  protect  human  health.  City  Specific  Clean  Air  Action  Plans  have  been prepared and rolled  out for implementation  in  131  non-attainment  and million plus cities.
- Activities in these cities include strengthening of ambient air quality network, source apportionment studies, dust mitigation measures, composting units, infrastructure for non-motorized transport, shifting to clean energy in unorganized sectors, etc.
- The  NCAP  focuses  on  multi-sectoral  sources  of  pollution  including  power  plants, industries, vehicles, open burning of waste, construction & demolition activities, etc.; inter-Ministerial  coordination  for  convergence  of  actions  and  interventions;  and partnership with Institutes of National repute and International Agencies as Knowledge Partners
- Public Grievances and Response System (PGRS) is developed under NCAP.
- Emergency Response System (ERS) has been prepared in NCAP cities.
- Air quality monitoring cell has been constituted across the country in NCAP Cities.
- PRANA a portal for monitoring implementation of NCAP has been launched.
- Introduction of new modules within PRANA
- o Mission LiFE Module
- o Ranking Module
- o State Action Plan Module
- o IoR &NKN Module
- o International Agencies Module
- Implementing Swach Vayu Survekshan (SVS) 2022- Evaluation of self-assessment reports of NCAP cities and awarded top 9 best performing cities under SVS-2022.

## vi. Other Steps:

- Public  Complaints  regarding  air  pollution  issues  in  Delhi  NCR  are  taken  through 'Sameer App', 'Emails' (Aircomplaints.cpcb@gov.in) and 'Social Media Networks' (Facebook and Twitter).
- Introduction of green crackers with low emission and noise levels. Green Crackers have 30%  potential  reduction  of  PM  and  gaseous  emissions  compared  to  conventional firework.
- Ministry is promoting people's participation and awareness building among citizens for environmental conservation through Mission Life activities and Green Good Deeds that focus  on  promotion  of  cycling,  saving  water  and  electricity,  growing  trees,  proper maintenance of vehicles, following of lane discipline and reducing congestion on roads by car-pooling etc.
- Extension of Ujawala Yojana to ensure shifting to cleaner fuel.
- Swacch Bharat Mission and Waste Management initiatives.
- The Commission for Air Quality Management in NCR and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) has come out with a policy to curb air pollution in NCR, along with a standard list of approved fuels for NCR for industrial and other applications.
