Clearing the Air: India’s National Clean Air Programme and the Path Forward

The National Clean Air Programme is a pollution-control initiative that was started by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) in 2019 with the goal of reducing the concentration of coarse (particulate matter with a diameter of less than 10 micrometres, or PM10) and fine (particulate matter with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometres, or PM2.5) particles by at least 20% over the course of the following five years, using 2017 as the baseline year for comparison.

Jan Vishwas Bill: 2022

The Jan Vishwas bill was recently passed and made into Law. It claimed to promote trust-based governance, ease of living and business, and enhancement of individual liberty.

There are also certain interesting changes made by the Jan Vishwas Bill, which may not entirely come under the ethos of the Bill. A critical analysis of the Bill, with arguments and evidence from various sources will helps us understand it better, and point out any possible concerns and flaws in the Bill.
