Pollution Ka Solution

Delhi’s air pollution crisis demands more than diagnosis, it needs mission-mode solutions. This latest report from Chintan, co-developed with the High Commission of Canada in India, outlines five interlinked strategies that centre public health, strengthen institutions, and enable hyperlocal action.

Pollution ka Solution is the outcome of a multi-stakeholder roundtable and cross-sectoral collaboration, backed by data and lived experiences from the most affected communities. The report lays out five key recommendations: a unified nodal agency for the airshed, a central focus on PM2.5, strengthening technical capacity for pollution-abatement, robust public health communications, and real-time neighbourhood monitoring.

Built on the principles of environmental equity and implementation readiness, the report offers not just what needs to be done, but how, and who needs to act.
