About This Dataset
The dataset contains information on the Comprehensive Environment Pollution Index (CEPI) for 28 industrial clusters and areas across India. The data includes scores for air, water, and land pollution in 2009, as well as overall CEPI scores for the years 2009, 2011, and 2013.
Data Quality
The dataset contains 26 records with no missing values. The columns maintain consistent data types and logical cumulative increments. Financial figures represent nominal expenditure (not adjusted for inflation).
Use Cases
Analyzing the evolution of India's environmental policy, correlating afforestation growth with economic planning cycles, researching historical environmental spending, and benchmarking long-term ecological restoration goals.
Limitations
The dataset lacks high-resolution annual data (grouped by plan periods). It does not specify tree species diversity, survival rates, or geographic distribution within India. Expenditure is reported in nominal currency values.
Methodology
Data aggregated from the historical archives of the Planning Commission of India and the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change annual reports.
