Delhi to install air purifiers in 10,000 classrooms amid deteriorating air quality

Addressing a press conference, Sood said the government was focused on administrative reforms and policy interventions rather than publicity-driven initiatives, news agency ANI reported.

Sood said Delhi has around 38,000 classrooms and air purifiers will be installed in phases.

“We want our children to study smart and breathe smart air. In the first phase, air purifiers will be installed in 10,000 classrooms. Tenders have been floated today,” he said.

Official data shows there are 1,047 government and government-aided schools in the capital, the report added.
