Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) has announced that it has joined hands with the state government of Rajasthan to help the state strengthen and implement its clean air action plans. A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed  between Anumita Roychowdhury, executive director-research and advocacy, CSE and S Deval, member secretary, Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board (SPCB). P K Goyal, chairperson, SPCB, presided over the function.
