Vayu Kawach aims to make every Indian breathe pure and safe air by launching a nationwide, people-driven, and technology-assisted movement to reduce pollution, increase greenery, and adopt clean living practices.
Vision:
“Shudh Hawa – Surakshit Bharat”
(Clean Air – Secure India)
Reduce PM 2.5 and PM 10 levels by at least 30 % within 3 years in target cities and rural clusters.
Create one crore oxygen-producing plants in urban and semi-urban homes, schools, and offices.
Establish ‘Air Purity Zones’ in industrial, educational, and residential areas.
Promote zero smoke, zero dust, and zero waste behaviour through awareness and training.
Support government and private entities under CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) to fund purification projects.
| Level | Responsibility | Key Activity |
|---|---|---|
| Central Team (IPV Surakshaa Kawach Trust) | Planning, training, and national campaigns | Develop policies, partnerships, and progress tracking |
| State Units (IPV Bharat State Chapters) | Regional monitoring and local action | Conduct awareness drives, data collection, and CSR tie-ups |
| District Committees (Vayu Kawach Units) | Execution at ground level | Tree plantation, waste management, public campaigns |
| Public & Volunteers (Social Investors) | Participation and monitoring | Adopt one plant, reduce smoke and vehicle use |
Example:
Installation of Smog Towers in major metros in partnership with municipal corporations.
Deployment of road-dust vacuum machines under CSR by automobile companies.
Incentivising electric-vehicle adoption through awareness and EMI support schemes.
Example:
Distribution of “Happy Seeder” and Bio-Decomposer kits to farmers to prevent stubble burning.

WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR AIR FURIFICATION NATURALLY?
🌿 1. Air-Purifying Plants (Natural Oxygen Generators)
Certain plants absorb pollutants, release oxygen, and increase humidity levels — acting as living air filters.
Areca Palm – Removes CO₂ and converts it to oxygen efficiently.
Snake Plant (Sansevieria) – Releases oxygen even at night; absorbs formaldehyde and nitrogen oxides.
Aloe Vera – Purifies benzene and formaldehyde; also produces fresh oxygen.
Peace Lily – Absorbs mold spores and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Spider Plant – Removes carbon monoxide and xylene.
Boston Fern – Excellent for removing formaldehyde and xylene.
Money Plant (Pothos) – Absorbs carbon monoxide, benzene, and toluene.
🌱 Tip: Keeping 3–4 air-purifying plants per 100 sq. ft. can significantly improve indoor air quality.
Himalayan Salt Lamps – Emit negative ions that neutralize air pollutants and reduce allergens.
Beeswax Candles – Burn clean and release negative ions, unlike paraffin candles that release soot.
Open windows during early morning or late evening when outdoor air is cleaner.
Use exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms to remove indoor pollutants.
Grow balcony gardens or vertical green walls for urban environments.
Diffusing essential oils can kill airborne bacteria and viruses.
Eucalyptus oil – Clears respiratory airways and kills airborne germs.
Tea Tree oil – Natural antibacterial and antifungal agent.
Lavender oil – Reduces stress and purifies the air.
Lemon oil – Neutralizes bad odors and improves mood.
Naturally absorbs toxins, odors, and excess moisture.
It can be placed in rooms, cars, or refrigerators.
Reusable — just keep them in sunlight for 2 hours every month to recharge.
Cow dung cakes, when burnt mildly, release antimicrobial smoke that kills bacteria.
Natural camphor (Kapoor) purifies the air, removes foul odor, and creates a spiritually calming atmosphere.
(Ensure proper ventilation when using smoke-based purification.)
Small indoor fountains or aquariums can trap dust particles and increase humidity, improving breathing comfort.
Avoid synthetic air fresheners and chemical cleaners.
Use eco-friendly paints and organic cleaning products.
Keep shoes outside to prevent dust and harmful particles from entering.
Plant trees like Neem, Peepal, Banyan, and Tulsi near homes or colonies.
These species absorb large amounts of CO₂, produce oxygen, and filter suspended particulate matter.
Acts as both a spiritual and biological purifier.
Reduces CO₂, CO, SO₂, and particulate matter.
Recommended to plant near windows and balconies.
How it works:
HEPA filters trap 99.97% of airborne particles ≥0.3 microns (dust, pollen, smoke, bacteria).
Best for:
Homes, hospitals, schools, and offices — especially in polluted cities like Delhi.
Examples:
Portable air purifiers (Dyson, Philips, Mi, etc.)
HVAC systems with HEPA-integrated ducts
Note: Replace filters every 6–12 months for best results.
How it works:
Activated carbon adsorbs harmful gases, odors, and VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) like formaldehyde, benzene, and toluene.
Best for:
Urban households, chemical industry zones, and office spaces.
Often combined with HEPA filters for dual action.
How it works:
They emit negatively charged ions that attach to airborne particles, making them heavier and causing them to fall to the ground or get trapped by filters.
Benefits:
Reduces allergens and particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10)
Some advanced versions also neutralize bacteria and viruses
Caution:
Use ozone-free ionizers only — excess ozone can harm lungs.
How it works:
Ultraviolet (UV-C) light (200–280 nm) kills microorganisms like bacteria, mold, and viruses as air passes through the chamber.
Common uses:
Hospitals and laboratories
Smart air purifiers for homes
HVAC systems with built-in UV sterilizers
How it works:
UV light activates a titanium dioxide (TiO₂) surface, producing hydroxyl radicals that break down pollutants into harmless water and carbon dioxide.
Best for:
Killing bacteria, viruses, and VOCs.
Often used in smart home purifiers and air conditioning units.
How it works:
Charged plates attract and capture airborne particles like dust, smoke, and pollen using static electricity.
Best for:
Industrial plants, kitchens, and commercial buildings.
Note: ESPs need regular cleaning to maintain performance.
How it works:
Generates plasma (ionized air) that breaks down harmful gases, VOCs, and microbes.
Advantages:
Removes odors
Destroys germs instantly
No consumable filters
Applications:
Airports, hospitals, and luxury home systems.
Small devices with HEPA + Ionizer + Carbon Filters purify cabin air, removing exhaust fumes, dust, and allergens.
Perfect for cities with high traffic pollution.
Smart Sensors detect PM2.5, PM10, CO₂, and VOC levels, then auto-adjust purification speed.
They can connect to mobile apps or home automation systems for live monitoring.
Example:
Smart purifiers with real-time AQI display
IoT-integrated systems for schools and offices
For community or urban deployment — ideal for Vayu Kawach’s city-level mission.
Smog Towers – Large structures that filter ambient air (e.g., Delhi’s Smog Tower at Connaught Place).
Biofiltration Walls – Vertical gardens integrated with air suction fans and microbial filters.
Air-Purifying Buses / Stations – Mobile units that clean air while moving through polluted zones.
By maintaining optimal humidity (40–60%), these devices:
Trap dust particles
Reduce airborne allergens
Prevent viruses from thriving in dry air
Combo options: Air purifier + humidifier = ideal for dry winter months.
Cold Plasma Reactors – Break down pollutants without heat.
Nano-fiber Membranes – Capture ultrafine PM0.1 particles.
AI-based Air Quality Prediction Systems – Automatically activate purifiers based on predicted pollution peaks.
For best results, use a hybrid system:
Indoor air plants + HEPA purifier + activated carbon filter
Outdoor green barriers + smog tower or ESP unit
Community awareness + real-time air monitoring
