flag Punjab farmers use balers to recycle crop stubble, reducing Delhi’s winter air pollution, but burning persists due to lack of incentives.

flag Farmers in Punjab are increasingly using balers to collect and recycle crop stubble instead of burning it, helping reduce severe winter air pollution in New Delhi. flag In over 800 villages, stubble is processed into biogas, bio-fertilizer, and cardboard, supported by government and private efforts including the Confederation of Indian Industry. flag While this shift has led to some progress and new income opportunities, experts say insufficient incentives and awareness limit broader impact. flag Stubble burning remains common due to its speed, and New Delhi’s air quality continues to reach hazardous levels, underscoring the need for sustained action.
