SciencePhoto: The HinduIISc Report Urges Scrapping Swachh Vayu Sarvekshan Rankings
A technical review by the IISc Sustainable Transport Lab has called for scrapping the Swachh Vayu Sarvekshan ranking framework due to major methodological discrepancies. The report, led by Prof. Ashish Verma, highlights a stark contrast between administrative scores and actual air quality, citing Lucknow's top score despite poor AQI of 374 in December 2025. The findings were shared with Environment Minister Bhupendra Yadav.
