It also spent a total of Rs 490 crore on ads in 2021-22 alone.

In 2020, the Delhi government announced with much fanfare a new strategy to tackle the issue of stubble burning – a bio-decomposer developed by the Indian Agriculture Research Institute (Pusa).

Newslaundry had reported how a pilot project was launched in 2020, allegedly covering 1,900 acres of farmland across 39 villages. Last October, the government announced it would spray 4,000 acres of farmland across 59 villages.

Based on the Delhi government’s responses in the assembly and to RTIs, Newslaundry has learned that the AAP government has spent Rs 68 lakh across 2020-21 and 2021-22 on spraying this bio-decomposer. The government said this benefited 955 farmers.

But during the same time period, it spent a whopping Rs 23 crore on advertising the project.
