Q. Which Indian state has implemented the Super Straw Management System (Super SMS) for combine harvesters to mitigate stubble burning?
Answer:
Punjab
Notes: The Super Straw Management System (Super SMS) is designed to manage paddy straw effectively, reducing stubble burning, which significantly contributes to air pollution. Punjab has taken a strong stance against this issue, enforcing regulations under the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, to ensure compliance and promote sustainable agricultural practices. Stubble burning is a major environmental concern, especially during the winter months.
