Different labs of the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) - India's key scientific research body - have joined hands for developing eco-friendly firecrackers and arriving at a cost-effective technology to make e-crackers (electronic-crackers) available to Indian consumers across the country.
These labs took this initiative in the backdrop of the strong concerns raised on effects of highly polluting firecrackers on human health.
"Several CSIR laboratories have come together and are putting together a robust S&T strategy for development of eco-friendly firecrackers and fireworks", said Girish Sahni, director general of the CSIR.
He said the first phase would cover reduction of pollutants while future strategies would cover removal of pollutants from the compositions (of firecrackers).
Union environment and Sc &Tech minister Harsh Vardhan had last year sensitised the scientific institutions and research bodies on the issue of pollution due to firecrackers and urged them to arrive at a solution by researching on eco-friendly firecrackers.
Responding to his call, the CSIR has constituted an inter-ministerial expert committee to guide and mentor different labs in the unique R&D endeavour to come out with less polluting firecrackers.
The team on 5 Jan held its first joint meeting and elaborated on its strategy to go about its mission to have eco-friendly firecrackers.
