PM Modi launches nation's first air quality index, says India one of the least polluting countries
Pushing to bring down pollution levels, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched India's first national air quality index on Monday. Speaking at the event, he claimed that India's contribution to the pollution level in the world is one of the lowest.
Modi also asked Indians to practice conservation of energy. "We all should pledge that once a week we will not use any kind of products that use any kind of energy. We must think of developing ways in our lifestyle with which energy can be conserved," he said.
AQI is a crucial step that will inform the public about the level of pollution in the air on a daily basis in real-time.
AQI is a crucial step that will inform the public about the level of pollution in the air on a daily basis in real-time. The index has been launched in ten cities across the country including the national capital.
