About us
A citizen-led platform imagining, discussing and working towards a better India.
What we are
This platform is a citizen-led, non-partisan and independent platform. We believe in a cleaner, fairer, healthier and better India, and we want more people to take part in building it.
What we do
We publish evidence-based explainers, show live air quality for any place in India, and give each of our ten pillars a page with problems, evidence, solutions and examples. We also give you ways to act: send a message to your local authority, share what you learn, and tell us your ideas.
What we do not do
We do not back any political party or candidate. We do not name or attack politicians. We do not blame any community, religion or festival for a problem that has many causes. We do not run advertising and we do not sell data.
Who runs it
This site is run by a small, independent team of citizens. We do not name individuals on this site. See Funding and independence for how it is paid for.
Where our data comes from
Air-quality readings come from public monitoring stations through OpenAQ (including CPCB stations). Yearly averages come from the Air Quality Life Index (AQLI). Place names come from GeoNames. Each article and pillar page links to its own sources. The Resources page lists them all.
