The Commission for Air Quality Management in NCR and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) has decided to tap the technical/ academic expertise of the reputed scientific institutions working in the field of air pollution for joint and augmented approach towards prevention, control and abatement of the menace of air pollution in Delhi-NCR. 

After detailed technical and financial evaluation and appraisal, seven (07) proposals have been approved by the Commission. The first project by CSIR-National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), Nagpur will use AI/ML tool for vehicle counting by uploading the CCTV footage on Cloud Platform. This will help in preparing the air pollution emission inventory with the help of vehicle count for urban centers. The different range of traffic density will be used for training of AI Tool for vehicle counting. CCTV Footage of 24 hours of different road section will be uploaded for training the AI Tool. 

Second project by CSIR-NEERI, Delhi and CSIR - Central Road Research Institute (CRRI), Delhi aims to improve the Air quality of Delhi NCR by addressing vehicular induced road dust with scientific and technological based action plans.  

Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, Patiala, Punjab look forward to develop an AI based technique for flying drones in a specified trajectory with minimal human intervention for real-time air quality monitoring specifically for the pollutants viz. SO2, NO2, PM 2.5 and PM10. The data will be useful to provide information about exact pollutant concentration, on ground, spatial, temporal, altitudinal and seasonal variation of pollutant concentration at particular area/location in Delhi NCR vis-à-vis prediction of air quality scenario which help in optimization of control strategy. 

Apart from theses there are also projects proposed by IITM, Pune; SASTRA University, Thanjavur; IIT Delhi and Swachh.io; and Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), Pune. The Projects are aimed at developing better capabilities for air quality monitoring/ demonstrating field implementable solutions/ technologies, for the Commission to bolster its fight against the air pollution menace of NCR. Specific time limits along with budgetary allocations have also been set for each of the projects to be carried out for identification and resolution of problems surrounding the air quality of NCR.
