1. Which institute is collaborating with the Delhi government to explore cloud seeding as a measure to tackle winter air pollution?
The Delhi government, in response to the city's severe winter air pollution, is collaborating with IIT-Kanpur to explore the potential of cloud seeding as an emergency measure to induce rain and improve air quality. Cloud seeding, a weather modification technique, is being considered to address the critical air quality that deteriorates every November. The initiative requires approval from central government agencies before it can be implemented, highlighting the collaborative effort between the Delhi government and IIT-Kanpur to find innovative solutions to environmental challenges.
