Vaayu Veer: Youth vs Air Pollution in India’s Industrial Belt | Jharkhand AQI Story

Vaayu Veer: Youth Taking the Lead in Jharkhand’s Fight for Clean Air
In the industrial belts of Jharkhand, clean air is a daily struggle — especially for marginalized communities living in the shadow of factories, brick kilns, and burning waste.

Vaayu Veer is a grassroots youth-led initiative that puts air quality monitoring in the hands of those most affected. Armed with AQI monitors, training, and purpose, these young leaders are tracking pollution, raising awareness, and working with communities and local governments to demand change.

This film documents:

• The health impact of “Severe” AQI in local neighborhoods
• Pollution from wood stoves, garbage burning, and industry
• Youth-led chaupals, school campaigns, and civic dialogues creating momentum for action

Because when clean air becomes a privilege, resistance becomes a responsibility.

📺 Meet the Vaayu Veers — and see how community-led change begins with knowledge, courage, and a monitor in hand.
