Series 1 - The Air We Fear
Air pollution in India is a growing crisis, with the nation recording some of the highest pollution levels. With 140 million people breathing air 10 times or more over the WHO safe limit, it is not surprising that The Lancet Planetary Health in 2019 found air pollution to be accounting for 17.8% of deaths in the country.
A study by the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago found that the lifespan of people in India is cut short by 4.3 years, which also has adverse economic repercussions. In 2019, the financial losses from premature deaths and health issues caused by air pollution were USD 28.8 billion (ranging from 21.4 to 37.4 billion) and USD 8.0 billion (ranging from 5.9 to 10.3 billion), respectively. This underscores the severe economic challenge posed by air pollution.

While NEP 2020 aspires to revolutionize learning through multidisciplinary education, skill development, and digital learning, its implementation presents both opportunities and challenges.

Meanwhile, the World Bank (2022) reports that learning poverty in India - children unable to read at age 10 - stands at 55%, signaling gaps that need immediate attention. Higher education and employability also remain key concerns. Despite India’s expanding university network, the India Skills Report 2023 indicates
