💨 Abstract

The Delhi Cabinet allocated Rs 3.21 crore for five cloud seeding trials in the Delhi-National Capital Region to combat air pollution. The first trial, managed by IIT Kanpur, will occur on Delhi's outskirts. Cloud seeding aims to create artificial rain to reduce particulate matter in the air, though its effectiveness is debated. The project, initially proposed by the previous AAP government, aligns with the current BJP administration's air pollution action plan.
