Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of INR 8,480,000 (approximately $103,765 at the time of conversion) over three years to the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Mohali to support research on air pollution in small-town North India. Professors Anu Sabhlok and Rohit Negi will lead the study. They aim to identify local sources of pollution and better understand how residents and relevant government officials perceive the issue.
This falls within Open Philanthropy’s focus area of South Asian air quality.
