Odisha CM Launches ‘Star Rating’ System For Industries To Reduce Pollution, Clean Up Air
Bhubaneswar: In a bid to reduce pollution and clean up the air, Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today launched a ‘Star Rating’ system for industries. This first-of-its-kind transparency initiative in the State will categorize industries from 1-star to 5-stars, with 1-star being the least compliant and 5-stars being the most compliant to the pollution standards set by the regulator.
The programme also aims to strengthen the Odisha State Pollution Control Board’s (OSPCB) regulatory efforts to reduce pollution along with informing residents and industries.
The Chief Minister also launched the new website www.ospcb.info at the Secretariat here.
In his keynote speech, the Chief Minister said, “I congratulate the State Pollution Control Board and Energy Policy Institute of the University of Chicago for this bold initiative.”
