What We Do
We envision an aware and informed society mobilizing towards clean air in India. We use creative, awareness-building campaigns to broaden society's understanding about the causes and effects of air pollution and the dangers to individual health.
Volunteer-driven for the last 4 years before its official registration in 2018, Care For Air comprises members who practice and lead in many fields including journalism, business, education, medicine, public health, atmospheric science, and legal practice.
Its activities are driven by its members, and include written and live media responses to current policy initiatives and air pollution science; social media highlighting important updates and busting prevalent myths about air pollution; legal advocacy including the recent petition to restrict fireworks during Diwali which was ruled in by the Supreme Court of India; and active ongoing discussion on air quality trends and science in the Delhi/NCR region.

Training and Skill Building Programs
Additionally, through a currently volunteer-led executive team, Care For Air designs and delivers programs reaching youth, schools, community organizations, and anyone else with interest in the air pollution crisis.
