In news- The Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) released the report ‘Transparency Index — Rating of Pollution Control Boards on Public Disclosure’. 

About CSE Transparency Index-

  • To assess the level of transparency maintained by the  state pollution control boards (SPCB) and pollution control committees (PCC),  CSE has conducted a study, and assessed the data disclosure performance of 29 state pollution control boards (PCBs) and 6 pollution control committees in the country.
  • This report critically evaluates the information shared by SPCBs/PCCs during the last four-five years (2016–21) and uses several indicators that provide a broader indication on the type and amount of information shared. 
  • This report provides the status of the information shared by SPCBs/PCCs on their websites and annual reports. 

Key findings-

  • Around 60 per cent of the bodies scored less than 50 per cent on the information disclosure parameters studied.
  • Only 14 boards scored above 50 per cent in the index.
  • They are Odisha, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Goa, Karnataka, Haryana, Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Kerala, Maharashtra, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan.
  • The index’s  analysis cited that most agencies are not transparent enough with information in the public domain.
  • Information on functioning, actions taken by boards against polluting industries, public hearing data on new projects etc are rarely disclosed, or are not even available on public websites.
  • The pollution control boards of Odisha and Telangana were the top performers and had scored 67 per cent in transparency.
  • Tamil Nadu ranked a close second with 65.5 percent transparency, Madhya Pradesh ranked third (64 per cent), West Bengal ranked fourth (62 per cent) and Goa ranked fifth (60.6 per cent).
  • Only five boards including Haryana have shared minutes of their board meetings on their websites.
  • Only five SPCBs including Himachal Pradesh have shared information on inspections conducted by the boards.

 Centre for Science and Environment (CSE)

  • It is a public interest research and advocacy organisation based in New Delhi.
  • CSE researches into, lobbies for and communicates the urgency of development that is both sustainable and equitable.
  • Its efforts are specifically designed to create awareness about problems and propose sustainable solutions. 
  • Research at CSE often consists of in-depth learning about an environmental problem and then finding answers in accordance with CSE’s core values.

CSE’s efforts are built around five broad programmes:

  1. Communication for Awareness. 
  2. Research and Advocacy. 
  3. Education and Training. 
  4. Knowledge Portal. 
  5. Pollution Monitoring
