find the effective solutions and controls measures to check air pollution in Delhi and
Sikkim that are acceptable and feasible by developing critical thinking, research, and
presentation skills while raising awareness about air pollution and its importance.

Methodology:
Students will do research on air pollution in Delhi and Sikkim to complete the
following tasks.
1. List the natural and man-made causes of air pollution in Delhi and
Sikkim.
2. Mention the effects of air pollution on human health, environment and
climate.
3. Collect data on average air quality indexes of Delhi and Sikkim for
each month of year 2024 (as shown in the graph above).
