A meet up with Ecoprenuers and Innovators for a Green India 🇮🇳 🌱

A journey to India through 23 countries! Having started from their breeding areas in northeastern China 11 days ago, the two Amur Falcons Apapang and Alang arrived in Manipur yesterday. This marks the successful completion of their nearly year-long tracking and also their round-trip journey back to Manipur since tagging by scientists of WII in November 2025; travelling through 23 countries on their journey across Africa and Asia, the Amur Falcons are truly global citizens. The two Amur falcons are expected to now make a two to three week stopover at select sites in the beautiful mountainous tracts of Tamenglong district in Manipur, where local people now eagerly wait for their return year after year and protect the falcons. Feasting on the termites emerging in and around their stopover sites the Amurs will put on fat reserves that is critical for their next leg of migration, which will be a 6-day nonstop flight of nearly 6000 km from here to Somalia that also includes a 3000 km Arabian Sea crossing. The Amur Falcons are truly remarkable for their migration journeys.

India 🇮🇳 on top!

Had a very engaging and meaningful interaction with StartUps and innovation companies working on environmental solutions, especially air pollution control and mitigation. The companies presented their solutions to air pollution control challenges and we deliberated on ways to engage further on the proposed solutions. The areas covered by the companies include: 🌱 Industrial emissions monitoring and enforcement: Develop tamper-proof OCEMS and AI detection of data drift/manipulation; monitor APCDs, detect bypass or malfunction, and link APCD operation with furnace/boiler controls. Integrate CAQMS, OCEMS and plant-operation data to flag potential violations. 🌱 Dust control at construction sites and roads: Use of AI cameras to detect C&D-site dust and activate suppression equipment; develop movable dust-containment and filtration systems. Promote low-cost mechanised road sweepers and tools to identify road-dust resuspension hotspots. 🌱 City-wide air-quality mapping and source attribution: Map air quality in near real time, including unmonitored areas; locate hotspots and estimate contributions from vehicles, road dust, construction, industries and biomass burning using monitoring, satellite and meteorological data. 🌱 Cleaner vehicles and smoother traffic: Develop tamper-proof PUC testing that verifies genuine exhaust sampling; use ANPR and linked databases to identify vehicles without valid PUCCs and over-aged vehicles. Apply AI to predict congestion and improve traffic flow, reducing idling and emissions. 🌱 Stubble/open-burning detection and utilisation: Enable 24×7 detection and geolocation of paddy-stubble and other open biomass-burning incidents, with alerts and response tracking. Optimise straw collection, transport and matching with bioenergy, biomass-fuel, composting and other utilisation facilities. 🌱 Cleaner industrial operations and DG sets: Provide affordable systems to monitor combustion efficiency and fuel use in small industries. Improve DG-set emissions control through smart RECDs that detect choking, malfunction, bypass, removal or tampering. 🌱 Recycling construction and demolition waste: Create digital platforms to certify, match and track recycled C&D products against construction-sector demand, improving transparency and utilisation. 🌱 Faster, efficient road maintenance: Developing portable, cost-effective pothole-repair machines for rapid, durable repairs with less manpower and reduced traffic disruption. 🔗 pib.gov.in/PressReleasePage.…

Chaired the 27th Meeting of GB Pant Society of Himalayan Environment and Development in Delhi today. Emphasised on the importance of access and benefit-sharing rights and People’s Biodiversity Register as a means to improve the livelihood of native villagers in the Himalyan ecosystem and also for its greater good. Under the leadership of Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi ji, there has been a concerted focus on the policy framework which focuses on balancing ecological security with sustainable socio-economic growth in the Indian Himalayan region by 2047. Released four publications which add to the knowledge repository of the work done by the institute. 1. Biodiversity and its Conservation practices for Bhagirathi Eco-sensitive Zone 2. Gangotri Glaciated System 3. E-PBR Governance for the Indian Himalayan Region 4. Ramsar Wetlands of the Indian Himalayan Region

Visited the Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) at Shastri Park and reviewed its operations along with Delhi Chief Minister Smt @gupta_rekha ji and Environment Minister Shri @mssirsa ji. We also inaugurated 13 new Continuous Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations (CAAQMS) to enable accurate monitoring of PM2.5 and PM10 levels. The Delhi Government has established the new Integrated Command and Control Centre to ensure close monitoring of every pollution hotspot and swift action on every issue. Equipped with AI-powered cameras, real-time data and GPS technology, the centre monitors pollution control measures round the clock. Under the leadership of PM Shri @narendramodi ji, we are working on mission mode to tackle every major source of pollution. 🔗 pib.gov.in/PressReleasePage.…

Under the Sewa Sankalp Abhiyaan, flagged off 150 electric buses today at Anand Vihar, Delhi, along with Chief Minister Smt. @gupta_rekha ji and Delhi Environment Minister Shri @mssirsa ji. Also virtually inaugurated public EV charging stations at five locations, strengthening Delhi’s clean mobility infrastructure. Under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji, India is advancing towards a cleaner, greener and more sustainable future. These initiatives reflect our collective commitment to reducing emissions, promoting electric mobility and building a Viksit Bharat that grows in harmony with nature.
