With an aim to provide holistic developmental exposure to our PGDM Students, IMS Ghaziabad PGDM Students along with Prof. Gaurav Dawar participated in a Debate on the 15-day trial of Delhi Government's ambitious Odd - Even Formula “ODD-EVEN REPORT CARD: Hit or a Miss?” with Rajdeep Sardesai at India Today Head office at Film City Noida. The Debate was chaired by Retd. Justice Markandey Katju, Former Supreme Court Judge, Mr. Ashutosh, Leader - AAP, Dr. Anuradha Shukla, Chief Scientist - CRRI and Ms Anumita Roy Chowdhary, Executive Director- Centre for Science and Environment.

The odd-even scheme that encouraged alternate day car use in an effort to cut down on air pollution in Delhi comes to an end. The jury is still out on whether there has been a dramatic drop in air pollution as a result of the scheme but what is clear is this the odd even scheme brought out the best of the city and its people. Who would have thought that there would be overwhelming compliance for a scheme in a city notorious for looking the other way, and not caring. The fact is this: Air pollution is a killer and Delhi is the world's most polluted city. And people know that.

India Today's exposé reveals the ground reality of the green tax in Delhi, where the Supreme Court order has gone up in smoke due to a truckers-toll agent nexus.

Midway through the Odd-Even plan in Delhi, the AAP government asks the High Court to extend the plan, citing its success. Data, however, shows that pollution levels have risen, both since December and since last year. Delhi transport minister Gopal Rai tells us why the Odd-Even plan should stay. Delhi Traffic Chief Muktesh Chander warns that traffic will become a problem once schools reopen. All that and more, on Agenda.

Arvind Kejriwal's odd and even number policy is a week old today, although the govt wants to enforce it for 15 days, but it seems the Delhi High Court scrap it tomorrow.

Diesel SUVs: No Entry

The Supreme Court raps diesel car manufacturers on the knuckles and says the ban on registration of new diesel cars will continue. In a stinging comment to car manufacturers including Toyota and Mercedes, the court asked, "Are your vehicles emitting oxygen?"

The Delhi government’s odd-even policy to check air pollution faced its first big test Monday as the capital returned to work after the New Year weekend. With few hassles, stricter policing and augmented bus and Metro services, the policy appeared to be a success, with most commuters willing to follow the rule.

Fresh data from the Centre for Science and Environment and the Delhi government shows that the odd and even alternate day car use scheme in Delhi is showing some fairly important changes to air pollution in the national capital. We go through these findings point by point. And in doing so we ask this question - Is it time to be less cynical?
