By bringing together all significant stakeholders, the conference aims to among other things, consolidate the numerous initiatives taken by governments to meet the air quality goals outlined in the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP).

The nine best-performing cities will receive “National Clean Air City” awards based on Swachh Vayu Sarvekshan for fulfilling air quality targets and putting corrective, preventative, and mitigating measures in place.

NCAP is a national-level strategy for a 20-30 per cent reduction in PM2.5 and PM10 concentration by 2024 with 2017 as the base year for comparison. The programme covers 132 non-attainment cities, which do not meet the prescribed national ambient air quality standards.

Under NCAP, city-specific action plans have been prepared that include measures for strengthening the air quality monitoring network, reducing vehicular and industrial emissions, increasing public awareness, etc. PTI GVS SZM.
