Delhi Govt Plans Artificial Rain, Anti-Pollution Drive to Tackle Smog

Dhruva Kulkarni

The Delhi government is set to conduct artificial rain trials, pending water sample test results, along with large-scale anti-pollution efforts to tackle pollution hotspots across Delhi-NCR.

Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said the government is actively working to reduce pollution, with visible improvements and efforts accelerating for better air quality.

The government is considering artificial rain, with studies underway to check if the chemicals used could harm health.

A small-scale test will be conducted in outer Delhi, and water samples will be analysed before moving forward with the plan.

Sirsa called the smog tower project a “failure” and said a new multi-area anti-pollution plan will be announced soon.

The new plan will focus on directly targeting pollution sources and working to reduce them.

Govt Begins India’s First Exploration Licence Auction for Critical Minerals

Dhruva Kulkarni

India has taken a big step in unlocking its critical mineral resources! On Thursday, Union Coal and Mines Minister G Kishan Reddy launched the nation’s first-ever auction of Exploration Licences (ELs) for 13 blocks of critical minerals, including rare earth elements (REE), zinc, diamonds, copper, and platinum group minerals (PGE).

The event also featured a roadshow on the 5th Tranche of Critical Mineral Blocks and the launch of AI Hackathon 2025, focusing on “Mineral Targeting using AI.”

Reddy highlighted India’s mining sector growth over the last decade, stating that the new auction system will bring transparency, efficiency, and private sector participation. The framework allows private companies to explore up to 1,000 square metres per licence, with states like Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, and Karnataka offering exploration opportunities.

The 2023 amendment to the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) (MMDR) Act aims to bridge the gap in private sector participation and boost systematic mineral exploration.

Goa CM Pramod Sawant emphasised the importance of critical minerals for India’s future green energy, stating that the policy will help the country achieve self-reliance on key resources while boosting Goa’s mining sector.
