What measures has the Indian government taken for controlling environmental pollution

What are the government's actions to address the levels of pollution in the environment, and how do these measures stack up against international laws and practices?
The Indian government has implemented several measures to control environmental pollution. Some of these measures include:
  • Switching to cleaner alternative fuels like compressed natural gas (CNG) for transportation
  • Implementing stricter emissions norms for industries and vehicles
  • Introducing the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India Mission) to improve cleanliness and hygiene in public areas
  • Launching the National Air Quality Index (NAQI) to monitor air quality in major cities
  • Banning the use of single-use plastics in some states and cities
  • Increasing green cover by planting more trees
Despite these measures, India still faces severe pollution issues. The country has been ranked among the most polluted in the world by the World Health Organization. This indicates that the government needs to do more to address the problem. Compared to international laws and practices, these measures may not be comprehensive enough. India can learn from successful environmental policies and practices in other countries and adopt them to better control pollution.
