Air Pollution is increasing day by day. Hence, NITI Aayog has developed 15
Action Points across a range of industries and
sectors. It calls for concerted action from all
levels of governance, cutting across Ministries
and Departments. In addition, the Action Plan
covers all stakeholders without whose active
participation and support the air pollution crisis
cannot be tackled.
This document explains the action plan with proper examples. Students may directly quote the recommendations in the Mains Answer to fetch good marks.
