    Why it’s important to invest in smaller cities

    India’s megacities have long been the nation’s economic and social drivers.

    Stamp out farm fires, urgently

    Farm fires form a significant source of pollution that chokes the Capital, especially in the run-up to, and around the festival season. An HT analysis last year found that roughly a quarter of the lung-damaging PM 2.5 particles suspended in the air around Diwali were sourced to farm fires. Given this, the failure to find a viable solution means that other steps to clean Delhi’s air may only give sub-optimal results. (HT PHOTO)

    Expand the focus on foundational learning

    The status of learning among students in under-resourced and localised “English medium” schools mushrooming in rural and peri-urban centres could be worse.

    Banning crackers can help Delhi air

    In 2021, for instance, Delhi woke up to one of its most polluted post-Diwali mornings in 2021. This was not because the ban was unsatisfactorily implemented but due to farm fires that had spiked in the run-up to the festival (and had contributed as much as a quarter of the pollution load on Diwali) and sluggish wind speeds that were inadequate to disperse the pollutants.
