India’s Approach to Stubby Burning

• The Supreme Court of India is considering prosecuting farmers caught setting fire to their fields for winter sowing or rabi crop preparation.

• Stubby burning is a major contributor to air pollution in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Haryana, especially in October and November.

• The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) was created to address air pollution in these states, but has failed to exercise its powers independently of political pressure.

• The CAQM has failed to convince the judiciary that stubble burning is due to recalcitrant farmers, limited enforcement by Punjab and Haryana, and the structure of agricultural economics.

• Suggestions to “jail farmers” to act as a deterrent are being bandied about due to the lack of a transparent mechanism and imagined political repercussions.

• Better incentives, enforcement of existing laws, and transparency about achievable goals are more advisable than ‘carrot and stick’ approaches.

India Air Pollution Issue is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
