 is considered that the 21st century will be the Indian century. However, India as a nation faces enormous challenges on its path to further development. According to the World Air Quality Report, 6 out of 10 most polluted cities in the world were from India. The National Clean Air Program, NCAP 2019 addresses the rising concern of poor air quality in India, focusing on the increased particulate pollution. NCAP focuses on increasing the existing ambient air monitoring network through the latest monitoring technologies. OISOM's low-cost air quality monitors yield accurate results and help bridge the data gap. As a part of the NCAP, cities such as Gondinagar, Varanasi, Itanagar, etc. have deployed OISOM's devices such as Palludrone for smart city monitoring. The real-time data and pollution heat maps are shared with the government officials to help understand the trends in air quality and plan mitigative measures. Data-driven automation is possible through the real-time data collected by OISOM's devices. Dust suppression systems are integrated with OISOM's dustroid to automate sprinklers, sprayers, etc. in cities and at construction sites.
