Jaipur along with Kota, Udaipur, Jodhpur, and Alwar have been identified as the non-attainment cities in Rajasthan under the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP). These cities are in the process of implementing their respective clean air action plans to reduce emissions from the key sectors of pollution including transport, industry, power plants, waste streams, construction, use of solid fuels in households, diesel generator sets and dust sources. 

It has been close to five years since the multi-sector action plan is being implemented. Thus, it become necessary to understand how such efforts are working in each sector of intervention – what’s working and what’s not working? This is needed to ensure that a more detailed sector-wise customized action plans are implemented to make a difference and to meet the clean air benchmark.
