THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT, FOREST AND CLIMATE CHANGE; AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS (SHRI KIRTI VARDHAN SINGH): (a) to (e): Pollution is one of the factors that affect human health, other than the factors like food habits, occupational habits, socio-economic status, medical history, immunity, heredity, etc. The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFandCC) regulate air and water quality by enactment of Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 and notified different Rules, Regulations 09.02.2026 355 based on the said acts to implement various Schemes for protection and development of air and water bodies. As per the provisions of the above said acts, all industrial units and other establishments generating industrial effluents, emissions are required to comply with the stipulated standards before release of emission and discharging of effluents into rivers and water bodies. CPCB, State Pollution Control Boards (SPCB)/Pollution Control Committees (PCCs) monitor emissions and discharge of effluents from industries to ensure compliance of the provisions of the said Acts and take necessary action accordingly. CPCB issued indicative Guidelines for restoration of water bodies’ as a guidance to the Stakeholders for ensuring restoration/ rejuvenation of water bodies. To control Air pollution in the country Government of India has launched the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) in 2019 as a long-term, time-bound, national-level strategy to address air pollution in 130 non-attainment and million plus cities/urban agglomeration in 24 States/UTs. City Specific Clean Air Action Plans have been prepared by all 130 cities under NCAP to implement air quality improvement measures in respective cities. These plans target air pollution sources like soil and road dust, vehicular emissions, waste burning, Construction and Demolition activities and industrial pollution. The focused actions by 130 cities under NCAP have shown positive results with 103 cities showing reduction in PM10 concentration in 2024-25 09.02.2026 356 with respect to 2017-18, out of which 64 cities have shown reduction in PM10 levels by more than 20% and 25 of these cities have achieved a reduction of more than 40%. 22 Cities have met National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and have PM10 Concentrations less than 60 μg/m3. To control Water Pollution across the country, National Water Quality Monitoring Programme (NWMP) a nation-wide programme is executed for the prevention, control and abatement of water pollution and to collect, compile and publish technical and statistical data related to water pollution. Under NWMP, Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) at present monitors water quality of aquatic resources in the country in association with the State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs)/Pollution Control Committees (PCCs) at 4922 locations including 2265 locations on Rivers. The water quality data under National Water Quality Monitoring Programme (NWMP) is utilized for identification of Polluted River Stretches (PRS) based on the level of organic load which is measured in terms of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) concentration. For rejuvenation of polluted river stretches identified by CPCB, action plans were prepared. These action plans were prepared by River Rejuvenation Committees (RRC’s) constituted by the respective State Government/ UT Administration, under the overall supervision and coordination of Principal Secretary, Environment of the concerned State/ Union Territory. The action plans were prepared for bringing the polluted river stretches to obtain water quality level fit for bathing purposes. 09.02.2026 357 Progress of implementation of action plans is reviewed by the RRC’s at State Level and by Central Monitoring Committee (CMC) constituted under the Chairmanship of Secretary, Ministry of Jal Shakti at Central Level. The details of action taken to control air and water pollution in Delhi NCR is enclosed as Statement-I. Under NCAP, Performance linked grant of ₹ 13,415.43 crore has been provided to 130 cities as a critical gap funding to implement air pollution mitigation measures, from 2019-20 till date.
