Learnings from Bihar’s Experience of Implementing Cleaner Brick Kiln Directive: A Case Study

In February 2016, BSPCB issued a directive to all brick kiln enterprises located in five blocks of Patna district to shift to cleaner brick kiln technologies within a year’s time. To assist the brick makers in transition to cleaner technologies, a one-year technical support programme was put in place with the
support from Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation. This publication, a case study, documents the strategy and process of implementation of this technical assistance programme and its outcomes, and draws important learnings from it.
