INTRODUCTION
 HISTORY OF GAYA

● Gaya is an ancient city, with a Buddhist

documented history dating back to the 6th
century BCE when the sage Gautama Buddha
attained enlightenment at Bodh Gaya, 16 km (9.9
mi) from the modern city.[10]

● Even before this time, Gaya was a place of

pilgrimage for people from around the world. The
fame of ancient Gaya derived from the account in
the Ramayana of the god Rama coming here to
the banks of Phalgu River (called the Niranjana),
accompanied by his wife and younger brother, to
offer pind-daan for their father Dasharatha, for
the moksha of his soul.[11][12] In the
Mahabharata, Gaya is referred to as Gayapuri.

UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM IN GAYA

A global air pollution database

released by the World Health
Organisation in May 2018,
rated Gaya as the fourth
most polluted city on the
planet in terms of the
concentration of fine
particulate matter or PM 2.5.
The report said Gaya's PM
2.5 level was 149, much
higher than considerably
larger and more populated
cities like Patna and Delhi.

 GOALS

1. Monitoring mechanism for implementation

2. Public Awareness and Grievance Redressal

3. To monitor the air pollution

4. Use of media and social media for creating wide

dissemination

5. Convergence with Graded Response Action Plan
