Summary

Burning creates smoke that can pollute the air and hurt people's health.

Ministers asked states to give farmers machines and cheap options to use stubble instead of fire.

The leftovers can be turned into animal feed, bio‑fuel, or natural fertilizer for the soil.

More states have reduced burning, but some still need help.
