7 of the world’s 10 most polluted cities are in India, a study by Greenpeace and Airvisual has revealed. With rapid development and shrinking green cover, air pollution levels have been soaring across the country. In 2017, indoor and outdoor air pollution caused 1.2 million deaths.

These are alarming numbers — every time you inhale, your lungs are taking in microscopic particles. These lead to a host of serious illnesses like asthma, cancer, strokes and heart disease, also impairing development in children.

At Jhatkaa.org, we’ve acknowledged the magnitude of the problem and with our campaigns, are pushing for stronger policies and subsequently, clean, breathable air for every citizen. This movement is incomplete without you. Be a part of our campaigns, and with strength in numbers, let’s hold our decision makers to their promises!
