Recent social trends in Punjab regarding stubble burning issue: A summary of newspaper articles during 2019–2024
Full text linkThis paper explores the socio-political and environmental dimensions of stubble burning in Punjab and Haryana, a significant contributor to air pollution in Delhi NCR. Using The Tribune newspaper articles from 2019 to 2024, it examines key themes such as government policies, crop diversification,farmers’ protests, subsidies, and straw management. Despite measures like machinery subsidies, penalties, and alternative practices, challenges persist due to poor machinery adoption, inefficient policy implementation, socio-economic constraints, and political unrest. Farmers’ resistance, compounded by delayed financial support and trust deficits, underscores the disconnection between policy and reality. Technological initiatives like biomass plants and satellite monitoring show promise but require broader integration. The study calls for a multi-pronged strategy combining farmer participation, infrastructure development, and collaborative governance to achieve sustainable crop residue management and mitigate environmental impact.research repor

Rice residue management at the farm level: A study in Punjab, Northwestern India
Full text linkapplication/pdfAir pollution in Delhi, India, is caused by a variety of factors, but a significant factor in late October and November is the activity of burning crop residues (hereafter referred to as “burning”). Punjab, a semi-arid region near the Delhi metropolitan area, has a high rate of rice production. To reduce rice residue burning, one of the solutions to air pollution is that some farmers use the rice straw in Punjab. Because rice is the main source of income for farmers in Punjab, it is difficult for them to stop cultivating rice. In previous studies, the use of rice straw to reduce stubble burning and avoid air pollution has been considered, and the amount of rice straw use has been clarified at the provincial level, but the actual use at the farm level and farmers’ preferences remains to be examined. This paper aims to clarify the actual situation of straw management by farmers, based on responses to online interview surveys and field work conducted among farmers in Punjab. In particular, we focus on straw management methods both burning and other than burning, planting wheat in the rice field and considering groups that depend on pastoralism for their livelihood at the village level. By describing a variety of responses and orientation towards of straw management by farmers, we seek to examine the possibility of using rice straw without burning it.learning objec
