Abstract:
Portal for Regulation of Air-pollution in Non-Attainment cities (PRANA), is a portal for
monitoring of implementation of National Clean Air Programme (NCAP). It will assist in
tracking the financial and physical status of the city’s implementation of the air action plan and
inform the public about the NCAP’s air quality control initiatives. The entry will provide real-
time information on pollution levels across the city, as well as past data on accomplishments
made in decreasing air pollution from 2018 to the present. It will also provide information
on the activities performed by 132 Indian cities to lower air pollution levels. The portal
(prana.cpcb.gov.in) has a national dashboard that has interactive points on seven thematic areas
of ambient air monitoring network, city air action plans, PM10 performance, graded response
action plans, public grievance redressal portal and more. It is linked to the government’s
objective of preserving the environment and using public resources sustainably.
