Auditors and appraisals- pollution control effort in the Indian state of Gujarat
07/18/2013
The Gujarat Pollution Control Board working with researchers at MIT and Harvard used court ordered outside auditing in a experiment to crack down on textile plant polluters. In this experiment textile plant auditors who were suspected of providing false appraisals of heavy polluters and the plants were told there was a one in five chance the plants would be audited a second time by independent auditors randomly assigned. The auditors were also paid from a central fund so that auditors did not have the incentive to favor polluters for bribes or any another reason. The Board also cut off electricity to heavy polluters. The results showed a huge improvement in compliance with polution regulations.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
