India launches real time “Pollution Hotspot Forecaster”

A new India Today investigation reveals what Delhi’s parents already fear: toxic air is shortening children’s lives, lowering cognitive development, worsening respiratory illness, and even affecting learning outcomes. This isn’t just a health crisis — it’s a childhood crisis. In simple terms: polluted air is making children sicker, slower, and more vulnerable than the generation before them. Air pollution is a systemic problem that won’t be solved by policy announcements alone. India’s pollution crisis is a shared responsibility — one held equally by the government and by each of us for our future generations.
