As a result of air pollution, the incidents of serious health problems among children are on the rise. Air is essential for life, and key to human health and flourishing. There is nothing more important than Right to Clean Air. After years of public pressure and campaigning by civil societies, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change launched the National Clean Air Programme on January 2019.
