520			_aArresting pollution in urban localities has been prime focus of urban administration. It will be evident from the example of the rising AQI in Delhi in certain periods. Several measures are being adopted to reduce air pollution in the cities, especially check on emission of poisonous gases by the huge number of plying vehicles, such as odd-even plight, GRAP, BRT, ITMS, banning vehicles to enter into a city, scrapping of old vehicles etc. India’s voluntary vehicle fl eet Modernization program (V-VMP) or vehicle scrapping policy (VSP) is one of the most talked about scheme. No doubt such schemes can reduce carbon emission into the air by vehicles, yet its adverse impact on life of people, especially mechanics earning bread from repair of vehicles, small businessmen, lower income groups etc. cannot be ignored. Besides, it poses the problem of disposal of scrapped vehicles. With this view in mind, the present paper attempts to assess the adverse impact of the scheme on the life of a large chunk of people and suggest measures to overcome the maladies arising out of the scheme. Among the suggestions focusing on fi rst-time vehicle buyers, incentivizing electric vehicle adoption, and implementing macro-economic reforms to create more jobs. - Reproduced http://www.iipabiharbranch.org/upload/BJPA%20Vol.%20XXI%20No%202(S).pdf
